Materials Data on ReC2(IO)2 by Materials Project
ReC2(OI)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of three ReC2(OI)2 clusters. there are two inequivalent Re6+ sites. In the first Re6+ site, Re6+ is bonded to three equivalent C and three equivalent I1- atoms to form distorted face-sharing ReC3I3 octahedra. All Re–C bond lengths are 1.91 Å. All Re–I bond lengths are 2.85 Å. In the second Re6+ site, Re6+ is bonded to six equivalent I1- atoms to form face-sharing ReI6 octahedra. All Re–I bond lengths are 2.74 Å. C is bonded in a linear geometry to one Re6+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.17 Å. O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom. I1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two Re6+ atoms.
