SYNTHESES OF DINUCLEAR RHENIUM COMPLEXES WITH DISULFIDO AND SULFIDO LIGANDS

New dinuclear cyclopentadienylrhenium derivatives with four bridging sulfur ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The disulfide ligands in [Cp‘Re(μ-S2)]2Cl2 have been found to react with dihydrogen, acetylene, and ethene under mild conditions.
