摘要
The aqua rhenium oxocomplex [ReO(OH)(H(2)O)(4)](2-) (1) has been prepared and characterized by spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and elemental analysis and its reactivity towards triphenylphosphine has been evaluated. Complex (1) acts as a catalyst precursor in the presence of molecular oxygen for the oxidation of PPh(3) to OPPh(3). This proceeds through complex intermediates like [Re(PPh(3))(n)](3+) (2), and [ReO(PPh(3))(n)](3+) (3). The newly prepared complex (1) was also employed as catalyst for catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane. The geometry of [ReO(OH)(H(2)O)(4)](2-) has also been optimized in the singlet state by the DFT method with B3LYP level of theory.
