Abstract:
The reaction of perrhenate with 2-hydrazinopyrimidine in MeOH-HCl yields [ReCl(3)(eta(1)-NNC(4)H(3)N(2)H)(eta(2)-HNNC(4)H(3)N(2))] (1). The analogous reaction with Na(2)MoO(4) yields [MoCl(3)(eta(1)-NNC(4)H(3)N(2)H)(eta(2)-HNNHC(4)H(3)N(2))] (1a). The reaction of 1 with pyrimidine-2-thiol and triethylamine produces [Re(eta(1)-C(4)H(3)N(2)S)(eta(2)-C(4)H(3)N(2)S)(eta(1)-NNC(4)H(3)N(2))(eta(2)-HNNC(4)H(3)N(2))] (2), while reaction of 1 with the Schiff base HSC(6)H(4)N=C(H)C(6)H(4)OH provides [Re(eta(3)-SC(6)H(4)N=C(H)C(6)H(4)O)(eta(1)-NNC(4)H(3)N(2))(eta(2)-C(6)H(4)O)(eta(1)-NNC(5)H(4)N)(eta(2)-HNNC(5)H(4)N)] (4), was also synthesized by reacting [ReCl(3)(eta(1)-NNC(5)H(4)NH)(eta(2)-HNNC(5)H(4)N)] with HSC(6)H(4)N=C(H)C(6)H(4)OH. The crystal structures of 1-4 have been determined.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
