Redetermination of the trigonal prismatic complex tris(cis-1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-dithiolato)rhenium.
The first trigonal prismatic molecular compound characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, [Re(C14H10S2)3], has been redetermined using modern laboratory equipment. The new experiment reaffirms the results of the original. Since then, numerous tris-dithiolene complexes have been structurally characterized, having geometries ranging from trigonal prismatic to nearly octahedral. An examination of the coordination geometries of these structures is included.
