N2 - An attempted synthesis of [Re(CO3) (μ-OH)]4, 1, by reacting Re2(CO)10 with an excess of NMe3O in THF resulted instead in isolation of a disproportionation product, [fac-Re(CO)3(ONMe3)3][ReO4], 2. The structure of 2 was determined via X-ray crystallography: tri-clinic, P1-, a=9.499(5), b=9.841(2), c=13.448(2)Å, α=109.92(2), β=106.89(3), γ=93.15(4)°, Dcalc=2.22 g-3 and Z=2. Least-squares refinement based on 1606 observed (I>3σ(I)) reflections gave final values of R=0.040 and Rw=0.047. The cation is a distorted octahedron that exhibits several structural manifestations of steric crowding among the bulky NMe3O ligands.
