Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Pyrolysis of O-Acetyl Derivatives of beta-phenylcinnamaldehyde and Benzaldehyde Oximes

[ReBr3(py)3]0.42[ReBr2(NO)(py)3]0.58 (1), trans-[ReBr4(OPPh3)2] (2), [ReBr(NO)(dppe)2]Br (3) and orthorhombic polymorph of mer-cis- [Re(NO)Br3(OPPh3)2] (4) complexes have been synthesized by reactions of monoclinic polymorph of mer-cis-[Re(NO)Br3(OPPh3)2] with pyridine, bis(diphenylophosphino) ethane, 2,2_-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline. The NO group in 1 and 4 is coordinated in a linear way. Due to nitrosyl/bromine compositional disorder, the shortening of Re-NO distance [1.68(5) A] and the elongation of N-O bond length [1.38(10) A] are observed in1. The N-O bond length in 4 is extremely short [0.94(1) A], which results probably from steric interactions of two mutually cis OPPh3 molecules and a large discrepancy of Re-O-P angle values.
