Dynamic processes of the first NHC-substituted rhenium heptahydrides [ReH <sub>7</sub> (NHC) <sub>2</sub> ]
Possible geometries and fluxional mechanisms of three [ReH $_{7}$ (NHC) $_{2}$ ] complexes (NHC = IMes (1), IMesCl $_{2}$ (2), and BIMes (3)) are presented. A new process named “η $_{2}$ -quadratic twist” has been identified. The complexes presented can perform C–H activation.
