Hydrolysis of Rhenium(v) Dioxo Complexes

Date of acceptance 11/12/2004 Abstract Electronic spectra and kinetic studies of the hydrolysis of trans-102Re(L)IX complexes ,where (X=C1 ,Br; L-3-, 4-amino pyridine ; 3- 4- methyl pyridine) in different acidic media, were carried out spectrophotometrically at (max 300-330mm) wavelength showed that the complexes are fairly unstable and their hydrolysis displayed first order reaction, and [Re041 was detected as a final product in the hydrolysis process.
