Publisher's Synopsis
The volume gives a highly topical review of all binuclear organorhenium compounds with organic ligands bonded to rhenium through more than one C atom (2L to 12L ligands such as C2R4 , Â-C5R5 , ÂC6H6, or bridging C5H4-X-C5H4). It includes, for example, the most recent results on the compounds ÄReÜ-(ChC)n -ÄReÜ where ÄReÜ stands for (C5(CH3)5)Re(P(C6H5)3)(NO) and the polyacetylene bridge has up to 20 carbon atoms. These species have stable mono- or dications with fully delocalized charges. The present volume, volume 5, and the forthcoming volume 6 give a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of all binuclear organorhenium compounds.
