Graphical Abstract

A molecular metal disulfate, Re2O4Cl2(S2O7)2 forms in the reaction of ReCl5 and oleum (65 % SO3) under harsh conditions. The first of its kind, this unique ReVII compound contains two ReO2Cl fragments linked by two disulfate groups, leading to Ci-symmetric molecules (see picture; Re red, O blue, S yellow, Cl green).
