Bifunctional Single Amino Acid Chelates for Labeling of Biomolecules with the {Tc(CO)3}+ and {Re(CO)3}+ Cores. Crystal and Molecular Structures of [ReBr(CO)3(H2NCH2C5H4N)], [Re(CO)3{(C5H4NCH2)2NH}]Br, [Re(CO)3{(C5H4NCH2)2NCH2CO2H}]Br, [Re(CO)3{X(Y)NCH2CO2CH2CH3}]Br (X = Y = 2-pyridylmethyl; X = 2-pyridylmethyl, Y = 2-(1-methylimidazolyl)methyl; X = Y = 2-(1-methylimidazolyl)methyl), [ReBr(CO)3{(C5H4NCH2)NH(CH2C4H3S)}], and [Re(CO)3{(C5H4NCH2)N(CH2C4H3S)(CH2CO2)}]

Abstract
The reactions of a series of potentially tridentate ligands, derived from single amino acids or amino acid analogues, with [NEt4]2[ReBr3(CO)3] have been investigated. The model compounds [Re(CO)3Br{(2-pyridylmethyl)NH2}] (1) and [Re(CO)3{(2-pyridylmethyl)2NH}]Br (2) were also prepared and structurally characterized. With ligands possessing two pyridyl appendages, (2-pyridylmethyl)2NX (X = −CH2CO2H, −CH2CO2Et, −CH2CH2CO2H, −CH2CH2CO2Et, −CH2CH2CH2CH2CH(NHCO2tBu)CO2H), complexes of the type [Re(CO)3(ligand)]Br (3−6) were isolated. All possess the fac-{Re(CO)3N3} coordination geometry in the cationic molecular unit. Similarly, the ligands with the imidazolyl arms (2-pyridylmethyl){2-(1-methylimidazolyl)methyl}NCH2CO2Et and {2-(1-methylimidazolyl)methyl}2NCH2CO2Et, complexes 7 and 8 of the same [Re(CO)3(ligand)]Br type, were prepared. Replacement of one pyridyl arm with a thiophene group yielded the complex [Re(CO)3{(2-pyridylmethyl)N(CH2CO2)(2-thiophenemethyl)}] (9), while additional substitution of X = −H for −CH2CO2H yielded [Re(CO)3Br{(2-pyridylmethyl)NH(2-thiophenemethyl)}] (10). In both 9 and 10, the thiophene is uncoordinated and pendant, and the derivatives display fac-{Re(CO)3N2O} and fac-{Re(CO)3N2Br} coordination geometries, respectively.
