Ss. Sun et al., Acetonitriletricarbonyl(2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)rhenium(I) hexafluorophosphate, ACT CRYST E, 57, 2001, pp. m119-m121
The novel title compound, [Re(C26H20N2)(C2H3N)(CO)(3)](PF6), has been synth
esized and found to crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P
2(1)/n. The molecular ionic structure consists of an Re-I complex cation an
d a PF6- anion, where the Re atom is octahedrally coordinated by chelating
dimethyldiphenylphenanthroline, three carbonyl groups and acetonitrile.
