The material used was the original sample kindly supplied by Professor Schrauzer in the mid-1960 s.
The current standard setting differs from the original cell setting, which was chosen arbitrarily based on preliminary precession photographs (Eisenberg & Ibers, 1966), by the transformation, [0 0 1 / 0 1 1 / 1 0 1]. H atoms were placed geometrically and refined with relative isotropic displacement parameters. The maximum residual peak and hole from the final difference map, located 0.86 and 0.82 Å from the Re atom, respectively, are probably a result of residual absorption or Fourier termination errors.
Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2004); cell refinement: SAINT (Bruker, 2003); data reduction: SAINT; program(s) used to solve structure: SIR97 (Altomare et al., 1999); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); molecular graphics: SHELXTL (Bruker, 2000); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXTL.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Forty years ago, the first example of trigonal prismatic coordination in discrete metal complexes was reported (Eisenberg & Ibers, 1966). The particular example was the rhenium–tris-dithiolene complex (I), first reported by Schrauzer et al. (1964). A number of other tris-dithiolene complexes were subsequently studied structurally and found to possess coordination geometries ranging from trigonal prismatic (TP) to nearly octahedral (O), depending on the metal ion, overall complex charge and dithiolene substituent (Brown & Stiefel, 1973; Colmanet & Mackay, 1988; Yang et al., 1991; Matsubayashi et al., 1992, 1993; Goddard & Holm, 1999; Wang et al., 1999; Lewis & Dance, 2000; Lim et al., 2000; Fomitchev et al., 2001).
The specific structure determination of (I), while widely cited as the first example of TP coordination, was based on intensity data collected by methods that would be viewed today as substandard (manually positioned crystal and detector, and fixed stationary counting times) and led to a number of problems in the refinement of the structure. Specifically, because of reflection overlap in the counter window, a significant fraction of the intensity data was eliminated from the refinement, leading to a low ratio of observations to variables, the use of isotropic displacement parameters for all atoms and group refinement procedures for the six phenyl rings. While the final refinement of the structure converged to R values of 0.069 and 0.079, a wide range of C—S distances was noted and standard deviations in all metrical parameters were substantial.
In this paper, we report a redetermination of the structure of (I) using a crystal from the originally prepared sample and performed using state-of-the-art CCD instrumentation. Additionally, we tabulate a simple distortion parameter that allows one to assess the six-coordination geometry from TP to O more accurately for tris-dithiolene-chelated complexes.
The structure redetermination confirms the TP coordination geometry of (I) as originally reported. As expected, in the present determination the equivalent metrical parameters for the complex exhibit much better agreement and much smaller standard deviations than in the original report. For example, Re—S distances cover a range of 2.3274 (9)–2.3348 (10) Å and average 2.3322 (22) Å, while dithiolene S—C distances exhibit a range of 1.715 (4)–1.730 (4) Å and average 1.725 Å (10) Å. The latter numbers compare with 1.62 (4)–1.75 (3) Å and 1.69 (8) Å, respectively, in the initial report.
The crystal structure consists of the packing of neutral molecules with no notably short intermolecular contacts. A feature of the packing is that the molecules stack so that the stacking direction deviates by only 10.2° from the trigonal axis of the complex.
Studies on related dithiolene complexes following the initial report revealed that the tris-chelated complexes with MS6 coordination environments exhibited a range of coordination geometries from purely TP to distorted O that have been analyzed by Stiefel & Brown (1972). If one calculates the position of the centroid (Cen) of the three S atoms in each trigonal face then it is possible to define a TP distortion as the dihedral angle formed by Supper—Cenupper—Cenlower—Slower, where upper and lower refer to the two trigonal faces and Supper and Slower on the respective trigonal faces belong to the same ligand (Fig. 2). Each structure will therefore yield three distortion angles that can be averaged. For a pure trigonal prism the distortion angle would be 0°, and for an intermediate geometry half-way to O it would be 30° (ligand distance constraints preclude achieving a pure D3 geometry with O angles). Table 1 contains a tabulation of the tris-dithiolene structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.27; Allen, 2002), and their TP distortion angles as defined above. As can be seen, compound (I) has one of the smallest distortion angles for structures in which TP symmetry is not crystallographically imposed. Increasing negative charge on the tris-dithiolene complexes moves the coordination geometry towards O with an increasing distortion angle. A possible explanation for this effect is minimization of interligand repulsions as the donor atoms acquire greater negative charge [see Brown & Stiefel (1973) for a detailed discussion].
Brown & Stiefel (1973) propose a second distortion parameter in analyzing TP coordination. The parameter involves the ratio s/h, where s is the nearest interligand S···S contact and h is the distance between the two parallel trigonal faces. For TP, the s/h ratio is 1.0, meaning that the sides of the prism are squares, whereas for O, the ratio is 1.22 [= (3/2)1/2; Stiefel & Brown, 1972]. In the case of (I), with S···S contacts averaging 3.054 (31) and 3.055 (23) Å, respectively, for intra-triangular and intra-ligand values, the s/h ratio is 1.0, the sides of the prism are square and the coordination geometry is truly undistorted TP.
Finally, it is reassuring how good the overall agreement is between the original structure determination and the more accurate and precise current determination given the quality of the earlier intensity measurements.
