Abstract
Structural analyses for the title compounds, (OC-6-32)-tricarbonylchlorobis (pyridine-N)rhenium(I), [ReCl(C5H5N)(2)(CO)(3)], and (OC-6-32)-tricarbonylc hlorobis-(4,4'-bipyridine-N)rhenium(I), [ReCl(C10H8N2)(2)(CO)(3)], show tha t both complexes have the expected fac-octahedral geometry. The bipyridine complex has local C-2 symmetry, with the rotation axis bisecting the N-Re-N ' and OC-Re-CO angles. In contrast with closely related tetrameric assembli es which crystallize as porous channel-containing structures, the title com pounds form dense crystals which are packed in a herring-bone fashion.
