The chemistry of PCP-supported rhenium is largely defined by formation of thermally stable complexes which are unreactive towards air or water. Here we report on the unusual sensitivites of PCP-supported rhenium-carboxylates and the interesting chemical transformations they undergo. Results will focus on the discovery of a novel acid-induced equilibrium, potential C-H activation pathways, and highly reactive intermediates observed <i>en route</i>.
