| Abstract: | The crystal structure of the title complex (CO)5ReSnMe2Re(CO)5, (C12H6O10Re2Sn, Mr=801.27), has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic with space group P21/n (NO.14), a=10.587(2), b=12.392(2), c = 14.594(3),β= 100.59(3)°,V = 1882(1)3, Dx = 2.828g.cm-3, F(000)=1432, μ=14.3759mm-1, Z=4, and final R=0.0440 and Rw=0.0483 for 1954 reflections (I≥3σ(I)). In the complex the Sn atom is connected to two methyl groups and two Re atoms which are in slightly distorted tetrahedral arrangement. The Re atom is coordinated by five carbonyl ligands and one Sn atom, forming an octahedral structure. |
