title: Crystal and solution structure of oxo rhenium(V) complexes with cysteine and cysteine methyl ester.
abstract: The monooxo rhenium(V) complexes of cysteine (complex 1) and cysteine methyl ester (complex 2) were synthesised via a ligand exchange reaction starting from gluconatooxorhenium(V). Unexpectedly, the obtained oxorhenium(V) complex with cysteine methyl ester (2) was partially saponified. Both complexes were characterised by common analytical techniques in their solid state. Thus, an octahedral complex structure with 2(NH2,S) co-ordination in the equatorial plane and one carboxyl group bound trans to the oxo group is proven for complex 2 by X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the existence of a dioxo species at higher pH was proven for the first time with this type of ligand by determining the nearest co-ordination sphere of the rhenium centre in solution at a pH of 12 using extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy.
