An unexpected rhenium(IV)–rhenium(VII) salt: [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3 [Re VII O 4 ][Re IV F 6 ] 4 ·6H 2 O

Journal Article · · Acta Crystallographica. Section E, Crystallographic Communications

The title hydrated salt, tris[hexaamminecobalt(III)] tetraoxidorhenate(VII) tetrakis[hexafluoridorhenate(IV)] hexahydrate, arose unexpectedly due to possible contamination of the K 2 ReF 6 starting material with KReO 4 . It consists of octahedral [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ cation (Co1 site symmetry 1), tetrahedral [Re VII O 4 ] anions (Re site symmetry 1) and octahedral [Re IV F 6 ] 2− anions (Re site symmetries 1and \overline{3}). The [ReF 6 ] 2− octahedral anions (mean Re—F = 1.834 Å), [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ octahedral cations (mean Co—N = 1.962 Å), and the [ReO 4 ] tetrahedral anion (mean Re—O = 1.719 Å) are slightly distorted. A network of N—H...F hydrogen bonds consolidates the structure. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component twin.
