The water-soluble dithio−bis(phosphine)s
(HOH2C)2P(CH2)2S(CH2)3S(CH2)2P(CH2OH)2
(1),
(HOH2C)2PCH2CH2S(CH2)4SCH2CH2P(CH2OH)2
(4), and
(HOH2C)2PCH2CH2CH2S(CH2)3SCH2CH2CH2P(CH2OH)2
(7) were
synthesized in near-quantitative yield by the formylation of their
appropriate phosphine hydride precursors in the
presence of formaldehyde and oxygen-free ethanol. The reactions of
1, 4, and 7 with
[ReO2(C5H5N)4](Cl)
in
refluxing water produced the water-soluble Re(V) complexes
[ReO2(HOH2C)2P(CH2)2S(CH2)3S(CH2)2P(CH2OH)2]2(Cl)2 (8),
[ReO2(HOH2C)2P(CH2)2S(CH2)4S(CH2)2P(CH2OH)2]2(ReO4
-)2
(9), and
[ReO2(HOH2C)2P(CH2)3S(CH2)3S(CH2)3P(CH2OH)2](Cl)
(10). The X-ray crystallographic analysis of
8−10, reported in this paper,
confirmed the dioxorhenium(V) structures. All of the
compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C, and
31P NMR
spectroscopy. HPLC chromatographic analysis of
8−10 demonstrated purities of >98% for each
of the new
complexes formed. X-ray data for
