Abstract: In the title compound, [Re₃( [mu] -H)₃(C₂₅H₂₂P₂)(CO)₁₀]·CH₂Cl₂, the three Re atoms form a triangle bearing ten terminal carbonyl groups and three edge-bridging hydrides. The bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane ligand bridges two Re atoms. Neglecting the Re-Re interactions, each Re atom is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered over two sets of sites with fixed occupancies of 0.6 and 0.4.
