Abstract
The reaction of [Re2Cl8]2- and F-, both dis­solved as ion pairs with [(n-C4H9]+ in nearly anhydrous CH2Cl2 gives elder-coloured [(n-C4H9)4N]2[Re2F8] · 4H2O. On Laser irradia­tion of the solid complex at 80 K resonance Raman spectra are observed, exhibiting up to five overtones of v1 = 320 cm-1 (Re-Re, A1g) and combination tones with V2 = 625 cm-1 (Re-F, A1g). The spectroscopic constants are ω1 = 319,6 ± 0.6 cm-1, and x11 = -0,45 ± 0,05 cm-1. The Re-Re bond energy is estimated to be 162 ± 20 kcal/mol.
