Crystal structure of tetrakis(μ-n-butyrato-κ2O:O′)bis[chloridorhenium(III)](Re—Re)

With an inversion center at the mid-point of the two ReIII atoms, the title compound, [Re2Cl2{O2C(CH2)2CH3}4], exhibits a paddle-wheel or lantern-type structure with four n-butyrate groups bridging two ReIII atoms in a syn–syn fashion. The axial chloride ligands together with the Re—Re quadruple bon...
