Abstract

The reactions between the rhenium(I) complexes [ReBr(CO)5], [Re2Br2(CO)6(THF)2], and [ReOTf(CO)5] and Na-[Ph2P(O)NP(O)Ph2] in toluene and THF under reflux and in dichloromethane at room temperature, respectively, afforded the complex Na[Re2(CO) 6{μ-Ph2P(O)NP(O)Ph22O}3] in good to medium yields; an X-ray cristallographic study in the solid state revealed that the sodium atom is enclosed in the cage formed by two -Re(CO)3 fragments joined by three end-bound [Ph 2P(O)NP(O)Ph2] ligands.
