General description

Rhenium is a very hard, corrosion, and wear-resistant rare metal with ahigh atomic number. It is widely used in the field of catalysis and the preparationof alloys for jet engines.

Application

Rhenium can be used as a working electrode for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reactions.

It can be used as an additive to prepare a molybdenum-titanium-zirconium (TZM) alloy joint to improve its tensile strength.

It can also be used as a catalyst for various hydrodeoxygenation reactions.

The development of rhenium(I) chemistry has been restricted by the limited structural and electronic variability of the common pseudo-octahedral products fac-[ReX(CO)3L2] (L2 = α-diimine). We address this constraint by first preparing the bidentate bis(imino)pyridine complexes [(2,6-{2,6-Me2C6H3N=CPh}2C5H3N)Re(CO)3X] (X = Cl 2

Rhenium-based complexes are powerful catalysts for the dehydration of various alcohols to the corresponding olefins. Here, we report on both experimental and theoretical (DFT) studies into the mechanism of the rhenium-catalyzed dehydration of alcohols to olefins in general, and the

Transition-metal complexes of the types [Re(CO)(3)Cl(NN)], [Re(CO)(3)py(NN)](+), and [Cu(PPh(3))(2)(NN)](+), where NN = 4,4'-bis(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (OX) and 4,4'-bis(N,N-diphenyl-4-[ethen-1-yl]-aniline)-2,2'-bipyridine (DPA), have been synthesized and characterized. Crystal structures for [Re(CO)(3)Cl(DPA)] and [Cu(PPh(3))(2)(OX)]BF(4) are presented. The crystal structure of the rhenium complex shows a trans

Electrocatalytic properties, X-ray crystallographic studies, and infrared spectroelectrochemistry (IR-SEC) of Mn(bpy-tBu)(CO)3Br and [Mn(bpy-tBu)(CO)3(MeCN)](OTf) are reported. Addition of Brönsted acids to CO2-saturated solutions of these Mn complexes and subsequent reduction of the complexes lead to the stable and efficient production of
