Synthesis and molecular structure of mixed-valence compounds of rhenium obtained by di-iodine oxidation of rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes; X-ray crystal structure of Re3I6(CO)6

Abstract

Mixed-valence iodide-bridged compounds of rhenium have been obtained by the di-iodine oxidation of rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes; the X-ray crystal and molecular structure of Re3I6(CO)6, a ReI–ReIV complex of S6 symmetry, is presented.
