I prepared a series of six substituted pyrimidines. The pyrimidines were then reacted with rhenium(I) pentacarbonyl chloride and rhenium(I) pentacarbonyl bromide, resulting in the formation of coordination compounds. Using the chloride and bromide complexes, I then attempted to prepare analogous aqua complexes by reactions with silver salts in the presence of water. The newly prepared compounds were analysed by NMR and IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. CHN analysis was performed to determine the purity of the final products. One of the prepared products has formed crystals, the structure of which was then determined by X-ray diffraction.
