Abstract

The unique dodecanuclear cluster compound Re12CS17 was prepared and studied by X-ray, complex impedance method and density functional theory (DFT). The compound is amorphous, possesses semiconducting properties. Computer simulations showed that the Re and S atoms at the external borders of the neighboring molecules Re12CS17 can form sufficiently strong Re•••S intermolecular bonds, similar to the Mo•••S intermolecular bonds of cuboctahedron Mo6S8 molecules in the Chevrel phases.
