Preparation
editBromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) is commercially available. It is also easily and inexpensively synthesized by the oxidation of dirhenium decacarbonyl with bromine:[1]
- Re2(CO)10 + Br2 → 2 ReBr(CO)5
It was first prepared by the "reductive carbonylation" of rhenium(III) bromide:[2]
- ReBr3 + 2 Cu + 5 CO → BrRe(CO)5 + 2 CuBr
Copper(I) bromide is a byproduct.
Reactions
editBromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) is a precursor to other rhenium complexes. It reacts with zinc and acetic acid to give pentacarbonylhydridorhenium (HRe(CO)5).[3]
- Re(CO)5Br + Zn + HO2CCH3 → ReH(CO)5 + ZnBrO2CCH3
It also reacts with tetraethylammonium bromide in diglyme to give [NEt4]2[ReBr3(CO)3)], an important precursor to compounds containing the rhenium tricarbonyl fragment.[4]
Heating bromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) in water give the triaquo complex:
- ReBr(CO)5 + 3 H2O → [Re(H2O)3(CO)3]Br + 2 CO
This route avoids the formation of the tetraethylammonium bromide byproduct, which is often difficult to remove from reaction mixtures.[5]
