Abstract
Biscyclopentadienyl rhenium(III) monochloride, Cp 2ReCl ( 1), was prepared by the reaction of rhenium pentachloride with potassium cyclopentadienide (1:4) in tetrahydrofuran. The crystal structure of 1 has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1/ c with cell parameters a = 582.8(1), b = 1251.2(2), c = 1306.6 (4) pm, and β = 107.24 (2)°; p calc=2.568 Mg/m 3 for Z = 4. The properties of 1 are discussed in comparison to the homologous compounds of trivalent vanadium and technetium. The synthesis and the properties of the hydride Cp 2ReH ( 2) and of the tricyclopentadienyl rhenium, Cp 3Re ( 3) are also discussed.
