The synthesis of (PNP)Re(N)X (PNP = [2-P(CHMe 2 ) 2 -4-MeC 6 H 3 ] 2 N, X = Cl and Me) complexes is described. The methylnitridorhenium complex 3 was found to react differently with CO and isocyanides, leading to the isolation of a Re( v ) acyl complex 4 and an isocyanide adduct 6 . Two parallel pat...
