“…We have been interested in the chemistry of di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk) and its oxime and hydrazone derivatives (see scheme 1), and reported on the synthesis, characterization and structures of a variety of di-2-pyridyl ketone derivatives and their rhenium, manganese and ruthenium compounds [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Electrochemical measurements on fac-[Re(CO) 3 (L-L)Cl] where L-L ¼ dpk or dpkoxime revealed sequential electron transfers that led to plausible mechanisms for the electrochemical reactions of CO 2 , and methylchloroformate (ClCO 2 Me) with fac-[Re(CO) 3 (dpk)Cl] and to the electrochemical reduction and oxidation of free and coordinated dpkoxime in fac-[Re(CO) 3 (dpkoxime)Cl] [13][14][15].…”
