Abstract

Structural analyses for the title compounds (OC-6–32)-tricarbonylchlorobis(pyridine-N)rhenium(I), [ReCl(C5H5N)2(CO)3] and (OC-6–32)-tricarbonylchlorobis(4,4′-bipyridine-N)rhenium(I), [ReCl(C10H8N2)2(CO)3] show that both complexes have the expected fac-octahedral geometry. The pyridine complex has a local C2 symmetry, with the rotation axis bisecting the N—Re—N' and OC—Re—CO angles. In contrast with closely related tetrameric assemblies which crystallize as porous channel-containing structures, the title compounds form dense crystals which are packed in herring-bone fashion.
