The bridging bidentate perchlorato group in ReO3(ClO4), ReO3(ClO4Cl2O6 and Sb2Cl6(O)(OH)(ClO4), a vibrational analysis.

ABSTRACT

Raman and infrared analysis of the new compounds ReO3(ClO4), an ivory-white solid, and (ClO2)xReO3(ClO4)1+x (x < or = 1), an orange-red chloryl salt, showed that bridging bidentate [ClO4] and terminal ReO3 groups are present in both complexes. Vibrational data on [ClO4] in ReO3(ClO4) were compared to those obtained experimentally and by DFT calculation on a bridging bidentate [ClO4] in Sb2Cl6(O)(OH)(ClO4).
