Abstract
Decacarbonyl-dirhenium(O) (1) photochemically cleaves C-H-bonds in 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene (2 ) and forms two isomeric Re2(CO)8(μ-H)(μ-η2:1-cycloheptatrienyl) complexes (3, 4). In addition Re(CO)35-cycloheptatrienyl) (5) and Re(CO)35-cycloheptadienyl) (6) are obtained. The complexes 3 and 4 show temperature dependent 1H NMR spectra due to hindered ligand movements of the cycloheptatrienyl bridges with activation barriers of ⊿G 207 = 39.9±2 kJ mol-1 and ⊿G 255 = 48.0±2 kJ mol-1. 3 and 4 achieve in a thermal reaction an equilibrium with populations of 0.03 and 0.97 at 350 K with ⊿G 350 - 96.5±5 kJ mol-1. The molecular structure of the more stable isomer, Re2(CO)8(μ-H)(μ-η2:1-1 ,3,5-cycloheptatrien-2-yl) (4 ) was determined by X-ray structure analysis.
