Quantum-chemical study proposes a stable structure for rhenium sulfide nanocluster, indicating its potential applications.

This research aims to determine the structure of the Re6S8 cluster using quantum-chemical calculations.
Conducted quantum-chemical calculations using density functional theory with the PBE functional.
Analyzed the structural arrangement of the Re6 octahedron centered cluster.
The core structure of the Re6S8 cluster is confirmed as a Re6 octahedron.
Sulfur atoms are symmetrically coordinated at the vertices of the octahedron.
High symmetry and specific electronic structure are linked to the cluster's stability.

Pichugina et al. (2026) studied this question.
