- Abstract
The electronically unsaturated dirhenium complex [Re2(CO)8(μ-H)(μ-Ph)] ( 1) has been found to exhibit aromatic C−H activation upon reaction with N, N-diethylaniline, naphthalene, and even [D6]benzene to yield the compounds [Re2(CO)8(μ-H)(μ-η1-NEt2C6H4)] ( 2), [Re2(CO)8(μ-H)(μ-η2-1,2-C10H7)] ( 3), and [D6]- 1, respectively, in good yields. The mechanism has been elucidated by using DFT computational analyses, and involves a binuclear C−H bond-activation process.
