title: Re(CO)3-Templated Formation of Aza(dibenzo)dipyrromethenes.
abstract: The Re(CO)3 unit was used to template the formation of aza(dibenzopyrro)methene (ADBM) in the presence of pyridine or N-methylimidazole. The products of these template reactions are six-coordinate complexes, with a facial arrangement of the carbonyls, a bidentate ADBM, and a sixth ligand (pyridine or N-methylimiadozle). Three types of ADBM ligands are produced from these reactions, depending on the degree of hydrolysis; bis(imine)-terminated, bis(oxo)-terminated, and mixed-imine/oxo chelates were formed.
