The crystal structures of tetrakis(μ-n-butyrato-κ2O:O′)bis[bromidorhenium(III)] and tetrakis(μ-n-butyrato-κ2O:O′)bis[chloridorhenium(III)] acetonitrile disolvate

The crystal structures of tetrakis(μ-n-butyrato-κ2O:O′)bis[bromidorhenium(III)] and tetrakis(μ-n-butyrato-κ2O:O′)bis[chloridorhenium(III)] acetonitrile disolvate

The title complexes, [Re2Br2(O2CC3H7)4], (1), and [Re2(O2CC3H7)4Cl2]·2CH3CN, (2), both exhibit paddlewheel structures with four carboxylate ligands bridging two ReIII atoms. The Re—Re distances are 2.2325 (2) and 2.2299 (3) Å, indicating quadruple bonds between the ReIII atoms in each complex. Both...
