Rhenium catalysts cluster structures

Another catalyst system that could be considered in the bimetallic cluster category is supported platinum-rhenium (5), which represents still another type of system in the sense that a Group VIIA metallic element (rhenium) is incorporated with the Group VIII metal component. Platinum and rhenium have different crystal structures (fee vs. hep) (8) and do not exhibit complete miscibility in the bulk (Ref. 45, p. 820). However, these factors may have limited...
