Redetermination of the crystal structure of the 2D heterometallic framework prepared from [Ni(cyclam)]2+ and [Re(CN)7]3-

A new XRD experiment and crystal structure refinement was performed for the earlier published compound in the paper “Heterobimetallic coordination polymers involving 3d metal complexes and heavier transition metals cyanometallates” by Peresypkina et al. (2015) [1]. A choice of a crystal cell taking in consideration the superstructural reflections allowed to obtain more reliable data about the symmetry and bond distances in the heterometallic 2D framework {[Ni(cyclam)]2[ReO(OH)0.5(MeOH)0.5(CN)4]}2.5+. Additionally, doubling of the parameter c permitted to get more details about interlayer space. As a result, disordered perchlorate anions and solvate molecules were located.
