Molecular Structure of ((O)2Re(Bipyridine)(Pyridine)2)(clO4): An Unusual Example of a d2 Metal Complex with a cis-Dioxo Ligand Configuration

Abstract

An x-ray crystal structure investigation has revealed that the stable octahedral complex ((O)2Re(2,2'bipyridine)(pyridine)2) . (CLO4) exists in a cis-dioxo ligand configuration. The new complex represents only the second confirmed example of the cis-dioxo structure in hexacoordinate d2 transition-metal chemistry. The cis assignment provides an explanation for the marked electrochemical and spectral differences between the bipyridyl complex and the previously known trans-dioxo rhenium tetrapyridine complex.
