Abstract

The structures of three novel octahedral rhenium cluster compounds [Re6S8(CN)2(py)4]·H2O (1), [Re6S8(CN)2(4-Mepy)4] (2), [Re6S8(CN)2(4-Mepy)4]·4-Mepy (3) (py = pyridine, 4-Mepy = 4-methylpyridine) are determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data are: C2/m space group, a = 14.813(1) Å, b = 14.772(1) Å, c = 9.2122(6) Å, β = 119.085(2)°, V = 1761.7(2) Å3, d x = 3.318 g/cm3, R = 0.0585 (1); I41/amd space group, a = 16.0018(3) Å, c = 14.7186(5) Å, V = 3768.81(16) Å3, d x = 3.169 g/cm3, R = 0.0489 (2); P21/c space group, a = 9.0452(4) Å, b = 15.8065(7) Å, c = 15.2951(6) Å, β = 103.700(2)°, V = 2124.57(16) Å3, d x = 2.957 g/cm3, R = 0.0245 (3). Molecular cluster complexes interact via π-π stacking affording 3D frameworks in 1 and 2 and chains in 3.
