Notes:
Experimental results on the bombardment of some rhenium trihalides by argon ions in a photoelectron spectrometer have yielded lower-valency rhenium halides. The presence of the compounds have been made evident by the destabilization of the Re(4f) and the relative decrease in the halogen spectral line intensities. A theoretical approach to the energy of the Re(4f) states have been studied by the MS X-α method. The molecular model used in the calculations is made up of rhenium polyhalides in D4h symmetry having the structure Re2Xn-8 (n = 2, 4, 6). A discussion is also presented on the formation of multiple bonds as a result of the overlap between the dxy orbitals of rhenium.
