Tricarbonylrhenium(I)(α-diimine) complexes are of importance because of their strong cytotoxic and fluorescence properties. Syntheses of such complexes were achieved through a two-step process. First, the pentylcarbonato complexes, fac -(CO) 3 (α-diimine)ReOC(O)OC 5 H 11 were synthesized through a microwave-assisted reaction of Re 2 (CO) 10 , α-diimine, 1-pentanol and CO 2 in a few hours. Second, the pentylcarbonato complexes are treated with carboxylic, sulfonic and halo acids to obtain the corresponding carboxylato, sulfonato and halido complexes. This is the first example of conversion of Re 2 (CO) 10 into a rhenium carbonyl complex through microwave-assisted reaction. |
