Hydridic atom arrangement and bonding in the molecular structure of (C/sub 2/H/sub 5/)/sub 4/N/sup +/(Re/sub 2/(. mu. -H)/sub 3/H/sub 6/(CH/sub 3/C(CH/sub 2/P(C/sub 6/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/)/sub 3/))/sup -/ x CH/sub 3/CN: a complex containing 10-coordinated rhenium

A complex obtained from the reaction of ReH/sub 9//sup 2 -/ with triphos (CH/sub 3/C(CH/sub 2/P(C/sub 6/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/)/sub 3/) is found to be a nonahydride dimer in which ReH/sub 9//sup 2 -/ is coordinated to Re(triphos)/sup +/ via three H atoms and a Re-Re bond. The 10-coordinated Re atom in this compound, (C/sub 2/H/sub 5/)/sub 4/N/sup +/(Re/sub 2/(..mu..-H)/sub 3/H/sub 6/(CH/sub 3/C(CH/sub 2/P(C/sub 6/H/sub 5/)/sub 2/)/sub 3/))/sup -/ x CH/sub 3/CN, is the first example of a transition-metal atom with coordination number greater than 9, in a molecular compound. The structure of the compound was determined at 295 K by X-ray diffraction and at 80 K by neutron diffraction. The molecular crystal structures are reported in detail. 39 references, 5 figures, 8 tables.
