Computational studies (M06) have been performed in synergy with experimental studies to show that the thermodynamics for insertion of CO into an oxorhenium–hydride bond to form a formyl ligand is favorable despite conventional wisdom to the contrary. Further, it is shown that insertion of CO into formyl ligands to form α-dicarbonyl ligands is also a viable pathway and results in hydroxy carbonyl or formate complexes, depending on the nature of the ancillary ligand.
