A new ‘hybrid’ molecular square composed of alternating multiply-bonded dinuclear and mononuclear corners

The incorporation of both dinuclear (M2) and mononuclear (M′) units into molecular squares has been achieved by reacting a triply bonded Re2(II,II) complex that possesses two cis isonicotinate donor ligands with Pt(II) molecules that contain substitutionally labile cis triflate groups.
