Description

A strong transannular Re-Re interaction and reactive metal-sulfur bonds characterize the title compound. This surprising result explained by the existence of molecular orbitials arising from Re 5d and S 3p functions of similar energy are not only Re-Re bonding but also markedly delocalized. These findings underline the importance of the role of the metal center, especially in catalytically active metal sulfides. (orig./BBR)

Abstract (German)

Eine starke transanulare Re-Re-Wechselwirkung und reaktive Metall-Schwefel-Bindungen charakterisieren die Titelverbindung. Dieser ueberraschende Befund kann mit dem Vorliegen von Molekuelorbitalen erklaert werden, die nicht nur Re-Re-π-bindend sind, sondern auch ausgepraegt delokalisiert, was in der aehnlichen Energie der Re-5d- und der S-3p-Funktion begruendet ist. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen, wie wichtig die Rolle des Metallzentrums gerade auch bei katalytisch aktiven Metallsulfiden ist. (orig./BBR)
