Activation of linear and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons involving arene–rhenium compounds: crystal structure of µ-dihydrido-µ-neopentylidene-bis(η-benzene)-dirhenium

Abstract
Co-condensation of rhenium atoms with a mixture of benzene and an alkane, RH = ethane, propane, butane, 2-methylpropane, neopentane, tetramethylsilane, cyclopentane, or cyclohexane gives the compounds [(η-C6H6)Re(η-H)2(η-CR′R″)Re(η-C6H6)], where CR′R″= CHMe, CHEt and CMe2, CHPrn and CMeEt, CH(CHMe2), CHBut, CHSiMe3, cyclopentylidene, or cyclohexdylidene respectively: the crystal structure of the compound where CR′R″= CHBut has been determined.
