title: Development of novel water-soluble, organometallic compounds for potential use in nuclear medicine: synthesis, characterization, and (1)H and (31)P NMR investigations of the complexes fac-[ReBr(CO)3L] (L=bis(bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphino)ethane, bis(bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphino)benzene).
abstract: The bidentate, water-soluble phosphine ligands, bis(bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphino)benzene (HMPB, 1) and bis(bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphino)ethane (HMPE, 2) were reacted with the organometallic precursor fac-[ReBr(3)(CO)(3)](2-), 3, to produce the complexes fac-[Re(OH(2))(CO)(3)L](+) and fac-[ReBr(CO)(3)L] (L = HMPE, HMPB), respectively, in good yields. The rhenium complexes fac-[ReBr(CO)(3)HMPB], 5, and fac-[ ReBr(CO)(3)HMPE], 8, were characterized using (1)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopy. The structure of fac-[ReBr(CO)(3)HMPB] was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray spectroscopy. The substitution reactions of HMPE/HMPB with the rhenium precursor 3 in aqueous solution were monitored using time-dependent (31)P NMR techniques. A significant discrepancy in the reaction kinetics and the substitution mechanism between the two bidentate ligands could be observed presumably due to the different chemical backbones.
