Abstract: | The title compound, methylene bis[bis(N,N‐diethylamino)carbeniumdithiocarboxylate] pentachlorooxorhenium, (C21H42N4S4)[ReCl5O], is the result of an unusual dimerization of the ligand bis(N,N‐diethylamino)carbeniumdithiocarboxylate [(Et2N)2C2S2] upon reaction with [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] in chloroform under reflux conditions. The compound was obtained as a dicationic moiety, with the molecular [ReOCl5]2− anion providing the charge compensation. The planes of the carbenium and thiocarboxylate moieties are nearly perpendicular to one another and the backbone C—C bond length in the N2CCS2 group is the same as a normal C—C single‐bond length. |
