Abstract: | NH4Re3Cl10(OH2)2] · 2 H2O: Synthesis and Structure. An Example for “Strong” N? H …? O and O? H …? Cl Hydrogen Bonding The red NH4Re3Cl10(OH2)2] · 2 H2O crystallizes from hydrochloric-acid solutions of ReCl3 with NH4Cl. It is tetragonal, P41212, No. 92, a = 1157.6, c = 1614.5 pm, Z = 4. The crystal structure contains “isolated” clusters Re3Cl10(OH2)2]?. These contain Cl…?H? O? H…?Cl units with “very strong” hydrogen bonds: distances Cl? O are only 286 pm. NH4+ has seven Cl? as nearest neighbours and, additionally, one H2O which belongs to a cluster d(N? O1) = 271 pm] and one crystal water d(N? O2) = 286 pm]. |
