title: Synthesis of dimeric Re(I) amino acid conjugate complexes.
abstract: The aqueous one-step reaction of Re(CO)(3)(H(2)O)(3)(+) with pyridine-2-carboxyaldehyde and glycine or alanine produces a new class of cyclic dimeric products. The ligands of the chiral C(2)-symmetric products are bound via the diimine at one rhenium centre and via the pendant carboxylate to a second rhenium center.
