The reduction of (Et(4)N)[Re(III)Br(4)(CO)(2)] (1) by 0.5 equiv of tetrakis- dimethylaminoethylene in acetonitrile yields directly the air-stable, 17-electron Re(II) synthon (Et(4)N)(2)[Re(II)Br(4)(CO)(2)] (2) in nearly quantitative yield. The versatility of 2 as a synthon for Re(II) chemistry was demonstrated by substitution reactions of [Re(II)Br(4)(CO)(2)](2-) with different mono-, bi-, and tridentate ligands. The resulting Re(II) complexes form highly crystalline compounds, and the solid state structures of the neutral trans-cis-[Re(II)Br(2)(CO)(2)(X)(n)] species (where X = imidazole, pyridine, or phenanthroline) could be determined. All complexes are stable under aerobic conditions, both as solids and in solution, and showed fully reversible one-electron Re(II) --> Re(I) reductions between ca. -70 and -120 mV. Carbonyl stretching frequencies (nu(CO)) of this new family of Re(II) complexes are observed in the 1990 cm(-1) (A(1)) and 1830 (E(g)) cm(-1) regions. With complex 2, a wide variety of fundamental but so far unknown Re(II) complexes become accessible via facile substitution reactions.
