title: Synthesis and crystal structure of the rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complex of 5,10,15,20-tetra-p-tolyl-21,23-dithiaporphyrin.
abstract: The hexacoordinated rhenium(I) complex of 5,10,15,20-tetra-p-tolyl-21,23-dithiaporphyrin was synthesized, and the crystal structure analysis revealed the unusual binding mode of rhenium(I) to two thiophene sulfur atoms and one of the pyrrole nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin macrocycle.
