Synthesis and structural characterization of the Re3 triangular 4,4′-bipyridinium aqua-tris(μ-triiodo)-octachlorotrirhenium dihydrate complex

The Re3 cluster compound (4,4′-bipyH2) Re3Cl8I3H2O · 2H2O was obtained by thermal reaction of (NH4)4[Re2OCl10] with 4,4′-bipirydine triiodide. The structure of this compound has been established by X-ray measurement. This is the three-centre rhenium cluster with Re centres bonded by iodide bridges. The cations and anions positions are stabilized by hydrogen bonding network.

The title compound is the Re3 core complex with iodo bridges. This compound was synthesized by thermal reaction.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
