Abstract
The abstraction of the halogenide ligands in Re(CH3CN)(2)Cl-4](-) should result in a solvent-only stabilized Re-III complex. The reactions of salts of Re(CH3CN)(2)Cl-4](-) with silver(1) and thallium(I) salts were investigated and the solid-state structures of cis-Re(CH3CN)(2)Cl-4] center dot CH3CN and cisRe(NHC(OCH3)CH3)(2)Cl-4] are described.
