Abstract

A series of cyanide-bridged complexes that combine a low-valent photoacceptor rhenium(I) metal center with an electroactive midvalent rhenium(V) complex were prepared. The synthesis involved the preparation of novel asymmetric rhenium(V) oxo compounds, cis-ReVO- (CN)(acac 2en) (1) and cis-ReVO(CN)(acac2pn) (2), formed by reacting trans-[ReVO(OH2)(acac2en)]Cl or trans-ReVO(acac2pn)Cl with [NBu4][CN]. The μ-bridged cyanide mixed-oxidation ReV-ReI complexes were prepared by incubating the asymmetric complexes, 1 or 2, with fac-[Re I(bipy)(CO)3][OTf] to yield cis-[ReVO(acac 2en)- (μ-CN-1κC:2κN)-fac-ReI(bipy)(CO) 3][PF6] (3) and [cis- ReVO(acac 2pn)(μ-CN-1κC:2κN)-fac-ReI(bipy)(CO) 3]- [PF6] (4), respectively.
