The results of a spectrochemical investigation of (fac-ClRe(CO)/sub 3/(4bzpy)/sub 2/) (4bzpy = 4-benzoylpyridine) concerning the nature of the products from one- and two-electron reduction of the complex are reported. The ir and uv/visible spectra of the one- and two-electron reduction products are compared. The spectral and electrochemical data obtained are uniformly consistent with the conclusion that the reduced metal complex has the electron(s) localized on the 4bzpy ligand(s). 14 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
