Abstract
The focus of this work is to examine the thermal reactivity of the Cp*Re(CO)(NO)NO2 complex. Upon heating with a flame, the orange crystals decompose very rapidly, with a darkening of color and gas production. To investigate this reaction, the decomposition was carefully controlled by heating with N2 gas, and in heated solution. The products obtained from the heated solution were purified using column chromatography, yielding two new interesting compounds, believed to be Cp*ReNO dimers with bridging oxygens.
