Abstract
The crystals of N)trichloro-bis(triphenylphosphine-P)rhenium(III), [Re Cl3(C2H3N)(C18H15P)(2)], contain distorted octahedral molecules in whi ch the phosphine ligands are trans with respect to one another and the Cl Ligands adopt a meridional arrangement. In contrast to the isostru ctural [OsCl3(PPh3)(2)(CH3CN)] complex, where the Os-Cl distances do n ot differ greatly, the Re-Cl bond trans to the nitrile ligand [2.393(2 )A] is appreciably longer than the mutually trans Re-Cl bonds [2.344(2 ) and 2.350 (2) Angstrom].
