Tetraethylammonium dibromidotricarbonyl(o-toluidine)rhenate(I)

Abstract

In the title compound, (C8H20N)[ReBr2(C7H9N)(CO)3], the ReI atom is octahedrally surrounded by three carbonyl ligands orientated in a facial arrangement, two bromide ligands and an o-toluidine ligand. The amine lies trans to the carbonyl ligand and is substitutionally disordered over two positions in a 0.66 (1):0.34 (1) ratio. An array of C—H...O, C—H...Br and N—H...Br hydrogen-bonding interactions between the cations and the surrounding rhenate anions stabilize the crystal structure.
