X-ray crystal structure, EPR and electrochemical studies of two novel cyanonitrosylrhenates: K2[Re(NO)(CN)5] · (Phen)6 · 4.5H2O and K[Re(NO)(H2O)(CN)4] · (Phen)5 · CH3OH · 3H2O

Two novel bivalent rhenium cyanonitrosyl complexes, K2[Re(NO)(CN)5] · (Phen)6 · 4.5H2O (1) and K[Re(NO)(H2O)(CN)4] · (Phen)5 · CH3OH · 3H2O (2) have been synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic techniques.
