Condensation of [Ni(cod)(2)] with a trinuclear rhenium chloro sulfide
cluster complex prepared from [Re3S7Cl6]Cl and triethylphosphine forms
a mixed metal cluster complex [Re3NiS4Cl6(PEt3)(4)]. The cluster comp
lex has 17 metal cluster electrons and is paramagnetic. The four metal
atoms form a cubane structure with face-capping sulfur atoms.
