Dialkyloxo({eta}{sup 5}pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhenium(V) complexes ({eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}Me{sub 5})Re({double bond}O)(CH{sub 3})R{prime}(R{prime} = C{sub 2}H{sub 5}, CH{sub 2}Si(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}, CH{sub 2}C(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}), 1c-e, have become accessible through alkylation of ({eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}Me{sub 5})Re({double bond}O)(Cl)(CH{sub 3}) (7) with R{prime}MgCl. 1c-e are the first rhenium complexes containing different alkyl ligands. The neopentyl derivative 1e (R{prime} = CH{sub 2}C(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 960.7 (2), b = 2.844.5 (4), c = 1,260.7 (2) pm, and Z = 8. The X-ray crystal structure was refined to R{sub W} = 3.9%. The chiral molecule shows a distorted tetrahedral geometry around the rhenium center. The tribromide 3b has been structurally characterized. Brown crystals of 3b belong to space group P2{sub 1}/c with unit cell dimensions a = 1,311.5 (2), b = 723.0 (1), c = 1,901.6 (2) pm, {beta} = 92.68 (1){degree}, and Z = 4. The structure exhibits a four-legged piano stool geometry with no trans influence of the neopentylidyne ligand to the bromine atom.
