A new metallic environment for carbon in a carbido metal cluster: X-ray crystal structure of the anion [Re4C(CO)15l]–
Abstract
Partial fragmentation of [Re7C(CO)21]3–, by reaction with I2 in MeCN under Co atmosphere, affords the title compound, which contains a carbide atom at the centre of a tetrahedrally distorted square of rhenium atoms.
