ChemInform Abstract: Reactions of the Dirhenium(II) Complexes Re2Cl4(PR3)4 with Lithium Aluminum Hydride. A Convenient Synthetic Route to the Dirhenium Octahydride Complexes Re2H8(PR3)4.

Abstract

AbstractA general synthetic method for preparation of the title complexes (III), (IV) (space group P21/n, Z=2; yield 35%), and (V) (70%), which involves the reaction of triply bonded tetrachloride analogues with LiAlH4, is demonstrated for the examples (III).
