Description

The X-ray crystal structure determinations of five complexes of rhenium(IV) containing the ReCl4L2 unit, with L monodentate, are reported, one at 92 K. Small single crystals of the compounds were mounted on the Siemens P3/P4 x-ray diffractometer, and reflection intensity data were collected. The data were processed by using the program suite PROFIT. The Re-Cl bond lengths in several ReIVCl4L2 octahedral complexes are compared, and no distinct trans-effect of the donor atom on the chlorine atoms is seen either where L is monodentate or where L2 is a chelate ligand. It is concluded that the effect of chelation in the ligand much overrides the electronic effects of its component donor atom on the chloride attached to rhenium. 10 refs., 12 tabs., 5 figs
