Materials Data on Re2SnC10(ClO5)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

ReCl2ReCO2SnC(CO)8 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four 7440-31-5 molecules, four dichlororhenium molecules, thirty-two formaldehyde molecules, four methane molecules, and four ReCO2 clusters. In each ReCO2 cluster, Re5+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There are one shorter (1.74 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) Re–O bond lengths. C+0.80+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.22 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Re5+ and one C+0.80+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re5+ atom.
