More Description

The present volume is the first of a series of volumes dealing with organorhenium com#65533; pounds. lt covers the Literature completely up to the end of 1987. An empirical formula index and a Ligand formula index provide ready access to the compounds covered. ln accordance with the previous arrangement adopted for organemetallic compounds (cf. volumes covering organocobalt, organonickel, or organotitanium compounds), this volume starts with the mononuclear organorhenium compounds. lt contains compounds in which the organic Ligand is bonded to the Re atom by one C atom CL Ligand) and up to four CO groups. Other mononuclear compounds will be covered in the next volume of this series. 2 1 A formula like (C0) Re( D)s L belongs to a type of mononuclear rhenium compounds 2 containing three monodentate ligands eo two-electron donor) such as P(CH )s and one Ligand 3 bonded by one C atom CL) such as C H (trans-pentadienyl) or C(O)R with R = CH . 5 7 3 Much of the data, particularly in tables, is given in abbreviated form without dimensions; for explanation see p. X. Additional remarks, if necessary, are given in the headings of tl'le tables. Frankfurt am Main Adolf Slawisch November 1988 X Remarks on Abbreviation& and Dimensions Many compounds in this volume are presented in tables in which numerous abbreviations are used, the dimensions are omitted for the sake of conciseness. This necessitates the following clarification.
