Crystal and molecular structures of ammonium hexabromorhenate (NH4)2ReBr6 have been determined by the heavy atom method. The title compound crystallizes red-violet crystals in the space group Fm3m with Z = 4. The Re atom is of six-coordinate octahedral configuration, being bonded to six bromide anions. The magnetic behaviour of (NH4)2ReBr6 has been investigated over the temperature range 1.72-300 K. These measurements revealed that this compound is an antiferromagnet with Neél temperature TN = 15.5 K. The magnetic data are interpreted in terms of zero-field splitting of the ground 4A2g term (D = 22.8 cm-1), large because of the high spin-orbit coupling constant for the Re+4 ion, with antiferromagnetic exchange coupling (J = -17.7 cm-1).
