A Carbidoheptarhenate Complex of Thallium(I)
The reaction of TIPF6 with [Re7C(CO)(21)](3-) in dichloromethane produces [Re7C(CO)(21)(mu(3)-Tl](2-), isolated in high yield as PPN+ or PPh(4)(+) salts. The complex is strongly dissociated in acetone. Treatment of the complex with AuCl(PPh(3)) gives [Re7C(CO)(21)(Au-PPh(3))](2-) and TlCl.
