Probing the Structural and Electronic Properties of Dirhenium Halide Clusters: A Density Functional Theory Study

Abstract Dirhenium halide dianions received considerable attention in past decades due to the unusual metal–metal quadruple bond. The systematic structural evolution of dirhenium halide clusters has not been sufficiently studied and hence is not well-understood. In this work, we report an in-depth i...
