The electrochemical synthesis and X-ray single crystal study of Re4O6(OiPr)10 – a new Rhenium(V, VI) cluster with an unprecedented arrangement of metal–metal bonds

Abstract

The anodic oxidation of rhenium metal in isopropanol at temperatures not exceeding 20 degreesC provides with good yields the crystalline Re4O6(O-i Pr)(10) (I) complex, the molecular structure of which is built up around a practically ideal (Re-Re 2.52-2.54 Angstrom) planar rhombus of metal atoms, being thus connected by five equivalent metal-metal bonds in a system with only six cluster electrons.
