Abstract: A new Re^I complex has been synthesized by reflux methods, viz. -ethylene-1,2-di-4-pyridyl-²N:N'-bis[fac-tricarbonyl(4,4'-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine)rhenium(I)] hexafluorophosphate dichloromethane disolvate, [Re(-C₁₂H₁₂N₂)(C₁₈H₂₄N₂)₂(CO)₆](PF₆)₂·2CH₂Cl₂. The compound is a centrosymmetric dinuclear complex. The self-assembled structure contains octahedral Re centers, connected by a 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene linking group.
