Oxotrichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)rhenium(V) is the chemical compound with the formula ReOCl3(PPh3)2. This yellow, air-stable solid is a precursor to a variety of other rhenium complexes.[1] In this diamagnetic compound, Re has an octahedral coordination environment with one oxo, three chloro and two mutually trans triphenylphosphine ligands. The oxidation state of rhenium is +5 and its configuration is d2.
Synthesis
ReOCl3(PPh3)2 is commercially available, but it is readily synthesized by reaction of perrhenic acid with triphenylphosphine in a mixture of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid. In this reaction, Re(VII) is reduced to Re(V), and triphenylphosphine is oxidized to its oxide.
- HReO4 + 3 HCl + 3 PPh3 → ReOCl3(PPh3)2 + Ph3PO + 2 H2O
The required perrhenic acid solution can be prepared in situ from rhenium(VII) oxide.
Uses
ReOCl3(PPh3)2 is a precursor to a variety of other oxo-, nitridio, and hydrido complexes. It converts to ReH7(PPh3)2 by a treatment with LiAlH4.[2]
ReOCl3(PPh3)2 catalyzes the selective oxidation of secondary alcohols by DMSO, producing the corresponding ketals.[3]
