Treatment of propylperrhenate with 1 equiv. phenylzinc acetate yields dioxidodiphenylrhenium propionate. This novel complex can be synthesized with a yield of 41 % and is characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compound is sensitive to moisture. It decomposes in sunlight and above 0 °C. The crystal structure has distorted octahedral symmetry around the rhenium center. Both rhenium–carbon bonds have a length of 2.141 Å and are significantly longer than other comparable rhenium–carbon bonds.
