Chemical compound
Pentacarbonylhydridorhenium is a chemical compound with the formula ReH(CO)5 . This colorless liquid is a weak acid and represents one of the most important derivatives of dirhenium decacarbonyl (Re2 (CO)10 ). It is synthesized by treating a methanolic solution of bromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) (Re(CO)5 Br) with zinc and acetic acid (HOAc).
Re(CO)5 Br + Zn + HOAc → ReH(CO)5 + ZnBrOAc
It is moderately sensitive to light: samples turn yellow due to the formation of the metal cluster Re3 H(CO)14
3 Re(CO)5 H → Re3 H(CO)14 + H2 + CO
At 100 °C, it decomposes to Re2 (CO)10 :
2 Re(CO)5 H → H2 + Re2 (CO)10
