The dirhenium complex Re2(i-C3H7COO)4Cl2 was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, (1)H NMR and electronic spectroscopies, and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. The reactions of Re2(i-C3H7COO)4Cl2 with the substituted DNA purine nucleobases guanine (9-methylguanine and 9-ethylguanine) and adenine (9-methyladenine and 9-ethyladenine) were investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and electronic spectroscopies as well as electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. The data corroborate binding of two 9-methylguanine (or 9-ethylguanine) and 9-methyladenine (or 9-ethyladenine) bases per dirhenium unit in a bidentate fashion, in equatorial positions, via sites N7/O6 and N1/N6, respectively, with concomitant substitution of two carboxylate groups to form a single isomer of cis-Re2(i-C3H7COO)2(nucleobase)2Cl2. The binding of the bases to the dirhenium core disrupts important nucleobase interactions and may have important biological implications with respect to the anticancer activity of dirhenium complexes.

While synthesizing a series of rhenium-lanthanide triple inverse sandwich complexes, we unexpectedly uncovered evidence for rare examples of end-on lanthanide dinitrogen coordination for certain heavy lanthanide elements as well as for uranium. We begin our report with the synthesis and characterization of a series of trirhenium triple inverse sandwich complexes with the early lanthanides, Ln[(μ-η:η-Cp)Re(BDI)](THF) (, Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm; Cp = cyclopentadienide, BDI = ,'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,5-dimethyl-β-diketiminate). However, as we moved across the lanthanide series, we ran into an unexpected result for gadolinium in which we structurally characterized two products for gadolinium, namely, (analogous to ) and a diazenido dirhenium double inverse sandwich complex Gd[(μ-η:η-N)Re(η-Cp)(BDI)][(μ-η:η-Cp)Re(BDI)](THF) ().

Molybdenum, tungsten, and rhenium halides bearing a 2,2'-(PrAs)-substituted diphenylacetylene ([AsCCAs], ) were prepared and reduced under an atmosphere of dinitrogen in order to activate the latter substrate. In the case of molybdenum, a diiodo () and a triiodo molybdenum precursor () were equally suited for reductive N splitting, which led to the isolation of [AsCCAs]Mo≡N(I) () in each case. For tungsten, [AsCCAs]WCl () was reduced under N to afford {[AsCCAs]WCl}(N) (), which is best described as a dinuclear πδ-configured μ-(η: η)-N-bridged dimer.

The title silver(I) complex salts [Ag{Re (CO) }{Re(CO) } ] [Al(OR ) ] (AgRe ; OR =-OC(CF ) ) and [Ag{Ir (CO) } ] [Al(OR ) ] (AgIr ) form upon reaction of Ag [Al(OR ) ] and the transition metal carbonyls (TMCs) Re (CO) and Ir (CO) respectively. The solid-state structure of the AgRe cluster shows an unexpected asymmetric coordination motif, wherein the silver(I) cation has inserted into the Re-Re bond of one Re (CO) moiety, while the other dirhenium carbonyl coordinates only over one metal atom towards the silver(I) cation. The AgIr cluster is formed by the edge-on coordination of two Ir tetrahedra and the silver cation in a D symmetric fashion with a torsion angle of 46.

Methylidene complexes often couple to ethylene complexes, but the mechanistic insight is scant. The path by which two cations [(η-CH)Re(NO)(PPh)(═CH)] () transform (CHCl/acetonitrile) to [(η-CH)Re(NO)(PPh)(HC═CH)] () and [(η-CH)Re(NO)(PPh)(NCCH)] is studied by density functional theory. Experiments provide a number of constraints such as the second-order rate in ; no prior ligand dissociation/exchange; a faster reaction of ()- with ()- than with ()- ("enantiomer self-recognition").

New zwitterionic dirhenium carbonyl complexes containing ammonioethenyl and phosphonioethenyl ligands have been synthesized and studied. The reaction of Re(CO) with CH and MeNO yielded the dirhenium complex Re(CO)(NMe) () and the new zwitterionic complex Re(CO)[η--2-CH═CH(NMe)] (). Compound was characterized structurally and was found to have a NMe ligand in an equatorial coordination site to a long Re-Re single bond, Re-Re = 3.
