Abstract

Innocent behavior of a typical non-innocent ligand has been observed for the first structurally characterized discrete metal complex with tetranucleating TCNQ. The coordination of four [Re(CO)3 (bpy)]+ units (see picture: C: black, N: green, O: blue, Re: red) facilitates the reduction of the already excellent π-acceptor molecule TCNQ by a further 0.74 V! TCNQ=7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane, bpy=2,2'-bipyridine.
