Darstellung, Charakterisierung und Röntgenstrukturanalyse von η5 -Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-bis(methylsulfido)carbonylrhenium, CpRe(CO)(SMe)2 / Preparation, Characterization and X-Ray Structure Analysis of η5-Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-bis(methylsulfido)carbonylrhenium, CpRe(CO)(SMe)2

Reaction of the tetrahydrofuran-stabilized 16-electron complex fragment [Cp*Re(CO) ] with dimethyl disulfide, MeSSMe, leads to the diamagnetic title compound, Cp*Re(CO)(SMe) , which was characterized by mass, IR and NMR spectra and by an X-ray crystal structure analysis**. The two methylsulfido ligands are bent (angles Re-S-CH 114.1(3)°) and turned away from the Cp* ring. The Re - S-bond distances are 227.0(2) pm.
