Methyltriphenylphosphonium hexachlororhenate(IV)

M. Holynska, M. Korabik and T. Lis

Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₉H₁₈P)₂[ReCl₆], consists of alternating cationic and anionic layers. Unlike some related materials, the Re^IV cations (Re site symmetry ) of the hexachlororhenate(IV) anions do not order magnetically. Some of the Cl atoms of the anion are disordered over two positions related by rotation with respect to a Cl-Re-Cl axis, which can be correlated with C-HCl interactions.
