Abstract
No complexes with oxygen or acetylenic ligands of rhenium have been previously reported, and the only known olefin complex was prepared indirectly1. We have prepared acetylacetone (rhenium acetylacetonates containing other ligands have been prepared, Nyholm, R. S., personal communication), acetylene and olefin complexes by direct reaction of the ligands with various rhenium compounds.
