Abstract: Pyrazole and pyridine adducts of methyltrioxorhenium(VII) form bisperoxo complexes with excess H2O2 (see picture). Density functional calculations reveal that the increased efficiency of these complexes as catalysts for olefin epoxidation originates from their stability and from the moderate energies of the corresponding transition states. Nonaromatic nitrogen-base ligands reduce the catalytic performance of the adducts, in agreement with the computational results.
