- Abstract:
- Methyltrioxidorhenium (MTO) forms 1:1 adducts of the general formula CH(3)ReO(3)center dot L(2) with bidentate Lewis bases (L(2) = 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 5,5'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dibromo-2,2'-bipyridine, 5,5'-dibromo-2,2'-bipyridine, diethyl 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate, 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, 3,6-di(2-pyridyl)pyridazine). Due to the steric demands of the ligands, the complexes display a distorted octahedral geometry as confirmed by solid state X-ray crystallography. The rhenium center is disordered in all examined crystal structures. The complexes synthesized are thermally stable but sensitive to light and moisture. The 2,2'-bipyridine derived complexes exhibit good catalytic activities for cyclooctene epoxidation in a biphasic H(2)O(2)/organic solvent catalytic system using hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agent. The functional groups on the bipyridine rings play an important role with respect to the differences in formation, stability and activity of the complexes. Their influence depends largely on their electron donor capabilities. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
