A. Haaland et al., THE MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF TETRAMETHYLOXORHENIUM, (CH3)(4)REO, BY GASELECTRON-DIFFRACTION, Journal of molecular structure, 352, 1995, pp. 153-156
The gas electron diffraction data of tetramethyloxorhenium, (CH3)(4)Re
O, recorded with a nozzle temperature of about 30 degrees C are consis
tent with the molecular symmetry C-4v. Least-square refinements yield
the bond distances (r(a)) Re=O = 168.2(3) pm and Re-C = 211.7(3) pm an
d the valence angles angle C-Re-C = 82(1)degrees and angle C-Re-O = 11
2(1)degrees.
