ReC2 is Corundum-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent C(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ReC6 pentagonal pyramids. C(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Re(1) and one C(1) atom.
ReC2 is Corundum-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent C(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ReC6 pentagonal pyramids. All Re(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.13 Å. C(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Re(1) and one C(1) atom. The C(1)-C(1) bond length is 1.39 Å.
