Abstract

triangulo-Trirhenium nonaiodide Re₃I₉ reacts with 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) to produce the novel 13-electron paramagnetic cluster Re₃I₈(IMes)₂, which was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction analysis, ESR spectroscopy, magnetometry, and quantum chemistry.
