Synthesis and Characterization of Rhenabenzenes

摘要

There has been much interest in the chemistry of transition-metal-containing metallabenzenes. These compounds are interesting because they often display the chemical properties of both organometallic compounds and aromatic organic compounds. The isolation and characterization of stable examples represent one of the major challenges in metal-labenzene chemistry. Previous studies have led to the isolation of an impressive number of stable metallabenzene compounds that contain a late transition metal, such as osmium, ruthenium, iridium, and platinum.
