The reactions of diagonal and lateral Cp'Re(CO)2Br2 (where Cp' = n5-C5H5, n5-C5Me5) and (n5-CgH7)Re(CO)3 with reducing agents have been examined. Hydride reduction at -78 °C is observed to occur at the Cp ring in both CpRe(CO)2Br2 isomers, affording a thermally unstable [(n4 -C5Hg)Re(CO)2Br2]- complex. The product of hydride ring attack has been characterized by low-temperature IR and 1H NMR measurements in addition to 13C NOE and heteronuclear 2D NMR measurements. Reaction of lateral CpRe(CO)2Br2 with either MeLi or PhLi affords both Cp-ring attack and metalhalogen exchange, [CpRe(CO)2Br]- (1) while t-BuLi reacts exclusively via metal-halogen exchange. diag-CpRe(CO)2Br2 reacts with the above lithium reagents to yield the same metal-halogen exchange anion. Analogous reactions using diag- and lat-Cp*Re(CO)2Br2 (where Cp* = n5-CgMe5) afford only the corresponding rhenium metal-halogen exchange anion, [Cp*Re(CO)2Br] (2). The molecular structures of 1-[Li/15-Crown-5] and 2-PPP were established by X-ray crystallography. 1-[Li/15-Crown-5] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with a = 10.860(4) A, b = 13.116(5) A, c = 7.417(3) A, B = 105.26(3)0, V = 1018.7(3) A3 , and Z = 2. 2-PPP crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 20.646(5) A, b = 17.690(5) A, c = 17.553(3) A, and z = 8. Solution FT-IR studies of 2 in THF reveal the presence of only solvent-separated ion pairs when the gegencation is Li+, K+, or PPP+ from -70 °C to room temperature. 2-Na at room temperature displays a 39:61 mixture of carbonyl oxygen-sodium and solvent-separated ion pairs, respectively. These ion pairs reveals a reversible temperature-dependent equilibrium. The equilibrium constant has been determined by IR band shape analysis over the temperature range -70 °C to room temperature and values of AH and AS are reported. The reaction of the ring-attacked complex, diag-[(n4-C5H6)Re(CO)2Br2]- with PPh3, P(OPh)3, or Me3CNC leads to the formation of the CpRe(CO)2L. Treatment of [Cp'Re(CO)2Br]- with methyltriflate, TFA, and magic ethyl yields the corresponding diag-Cp'Re(CO)2Br(R) (R = CH3, H, C2H5) complexes based on in situ IR analysis. All of these functionalized complexes decomposed in solution over a period of days to give Cp'Re(CO)3 as the only isolable product (20-30 %). The reaction of the [Cp,Re(C0)2Br]- with Bu3SnH at 60 °C leads to the formation of diag-Cp'Re(CO)2(SnBu3)2, which was also synthesized independently by the deprotonation of diag-Cp'Re(CO)2H2 with Et3N in the presence of Bu3SnBr at room temperature. The reaction of Cp'Re(CO)2Br2 with Bu3SnH at room temperature was discovered to afford the dihydride in excellent yield and, thus represents an improved synthetic route for the synthesis of diag-Cp'Re(CO)2H2. The hydride reduction of (n5-CgH7)Re(CO)3 at room temperature leads to the immediate formation of [(n5-CgH7)Re(CO)2H]- complex, which has been characterized by IR analysis and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
