Abstract

AbstractNew oxorhenium complexes with 3‐methylazapentane‐1,5‐dithiolate (SNMeS) and thiol functionalized monodentate tetrahydroquinolyl and tetrahydroisoquinolyl derivatives have been synthesized by simultaneous reaction of [PPh3]2[Re(O)Cl3] with tridentate HSNMeSH and the corresponding N‐heterocycle containing thiol. The characterization of complexes involved elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallographic analysis. The nature of the heterocycle in monodentate ligand, even situated at the distance of two methylene group length, has been found to have a significant influence on the molecular conformation. Metal complexes were found to be active in psychotropic in vivo and cytotoxicity in vitro screening. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
