The title compound consists of [Re(C12H10PS2)(CO)(4)] molecules in which th
e Re atom is octahedrally coordinated by four carbonyl groups and two dithi
ophosphinate S atoms. The main coordination distortion is imposed by the li
gand bite angle of 78.29 (4)degrees. The bidentate coordination of the dith
iophosphinate ligand involves almost equal Re-S [2.5366 (15) and 2.5535 (14
) Angstrom] and P-S distances [2.0100 (19) and 2.0212 (19) Angstrom].
