Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The reaction of <italic>fac</italic>‐[Re(bipy)(CO)₃(PMe₃)][OTf] (bipy=2, 2′‐bipyridine) with KN(SiMe₃)₂ affords two neutral products: <italic>cis</italic>, <italic>trans</italic>‐[Re(bipy)(CO)₂(CN)(PMe₃)], and a thermally unstable compound, which features a new CC bond between a P‐bonded methylene group (from methyl group deprotonation) and the C6 position of bipy. The solid‐state structures of more stable 1, 2‐bis[(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene analogs, resulting from the deprotonation of PMe₃, PPhMe₂, and PPh₂Me ligands, are determined by X‐ray diffraction.</p> </abstract>
