Abstract

Multiply bonded organometallic complexes Re2(μ-Cl)(μ-η2-HCCH)Cl4(μ-dppm)2 (2) and Re2(μ-Cl)(μ-CCH2CH3)Cl4(μ-dppm)2 (3) are formed upon refluxing Re2(μ-O2CCH3)Cl4(μ-dppm)2 (1) with HO2CC ≡ CCO2H and CH3CC ≡ CO2H, respectively; these reactions are believed to proceed via the in situ formation of the corresponding metal alkynoates and the crystal structures of 2 and 3 show that the Re–Re distances of 2.6567(5) and 2.5277(6) Å are in accord with Re–Re bond orders of 1.5 and 2, respectively.
