The electron diffraction pattern of gaseous ethyltrioxorhenium(VII) has been analysed in terms of a C2H5ReO3 molecule with Cs symmetry overall. Least-squares refinement yields the following dimensions (ra in Å, angles in deg): Re–C 2.095(6), C–C 1.530(16), Re–O 1.711(2), C–H 1.106(13), Re–C–C 112.0(9), and O–Re–C 104.6(5). The compound forms monoclinic crystals [a
= 6.421(3), b
= 5.111(2), c
= 15.108(5) Å; β
= 98.01(4)° at 150 K] composed of discrete molecules little different dimensionally from the gaseous species. Both the structure and IR spectrum of the molecule isolated in an Ar matrix are well reproduced by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. There is no hint of anything unusual about the geometry of the C2H5Re fragment, but
the C–C–Re skeleton is appreciably stiffer to bending at the Cα atom than is the C–C–Ti skeleton in the titanium compound C2H5TiCl3.
气态乙基三
氧化铼(VII)的电子衍射图谱是根据总体上具有 Cs 对称性的 C2H5ReO3 分子进行分析的。最小二乘细化得出以下尺寸(ra 单位为埃,角度单位为度):Re-C 2.095(6)、C-C 1.530(16)、Re-O 1.711(2)、C-H 1.106(13)、Re-C-C 112.0(9)和 O-Re-C 104.6(5)。该化合物形成单斜晶体[a = 6.421(3),b = 5.111(2),c = 15.108(5)埃;在 150 K 时,β = 98.01(4)°],由离散分子组成,与气态物质的尺寸差别不大。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算很好地再现了分离在
氩基质中的分子的结构和红外光谱。C2H5Re 片段的几何形状没有任何不寻常之处,但 C-C-Re 骨架在 Cα 原子处的弯曲硬度明显高于
钛化合物 C2H5TiCl3 中的 C-C-Ti 骨架。
