fac-Tricarbonylhydroxybis(2-pyridyl)methanolato-3N,O,N'rhenium(I)
Abstract
The ReI centre in the title compound, Re(C11H9N2O2)(CO)3 or fac-Re(CO)3(dpkO,OH) dpkO,OH is hydroxybis(2-pyridyl)methanolato, (I), is in a pseudo-octahedral environment in which the major distortion is due to the constraints associated with the tridentate binding of the dpkO,OH anion. The carbonyl groups are orthogonal, with an average C-Re-C angle of 90.2 (3)Degrees. The molecules pack in stacks of antiparallel tapes of (I) interlocked via a network of hydrogen bonds.
