Abstract :
The title compound, [Re2(C3H7COO)2Cl4{(CH3)2SO}2], comprises binuclear complex molecules [Re—Re = 2.24502 (13) Å] involving cis-oriented double carboxylate bridges, four equatorial chloride ions and two weakly bonded O atoms from dimethyl sulfoxide ligands in the axial positions at the ReIII atoms. In the crystal, molecules are linked into corrugated layers parallel to (101) by very weak C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions. C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding provides the links between layers to consolidate a three-dimensional framework.
