Synthesis, structure, and dynamic behavior of rhenium sulfide and sulfoxide complexes of the formula [(.eta.5-C5H5)Re(NO)(L)(XRR')]+X'- (X = S, SO)

Abstract

Syntheses of chiral sulfide complexes [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Re(NO) (L)(SRR')] + X − (L=PPh 3 , CO), dynamic NMR studies that establish some of the lowest known sulfur inversion barriers, crystal structures of two dimethyl sulfide complexes, and preliminary studies, including a crystal structure, of analogous sulfoxide complexes
