Notizen: Die Kristallstruktur des Rhenium-Tolankomplexes [ReCl4(PhC ≡ CPhXOPCl3)] / The Crystal Structure of the Rhenium-tolane Complex [ReCl4(PhC ≡ CPh)(OPCl3)]

The crystal structure of [ReCl (PhC = CPh)(OPCl )] was solved with X-ray methods. Space group P1̄, Z = 2, 2085 observed unique reflections, R = 0.029. Lattice dimensions at -70°C: a = 857.0(2), b = 937.9(2), c = 1249.6(2) pm, α = 87.43(3)°, β = 83.48(3)°, γ = 89.80(3)°. [ReCl (PhC ≡ CPh)(OPCl )] has a molecular structure with the alkyne ligand bonded side-on (bond lengths Re-C 198.9(8) and 198.6(7) pm). The oxygen atom of the solvating POCl molecule is coordinated in trans position to the ReC unit of the alkyne ligand (bond length Re-O 226.7(5) pm).
