Structure of ionic cluster complex (PhenH)4[Re4Te4(CN)12]·4H2O

A tetrahedral cluster complex of rhenium with the composition (PhenH)4[Re4Te4(CN)12]·4H2O (1) is obtained and structurally characterized. The structure of the salt is determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2, a = 23.1780(7) A, b = 50.009(2) A, c = 11.4274(3) A, V = 13245.6(7) A3.
