Dh. Gibson et al., fac-Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(COOMe): A model metallocarboxylate complex of rhenium with a bipyridyl ligand, J CHEM CRYS, 29(5), 1999, pp. 619-622
The title compound, fac-(2,2'-bipyridyl) (carbomethoxy)rhenium tricarbonyl,
crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c with the follow
ing crystal data: a = 8.37551(1), b = 6.6934(1), c = 26.2098(1) Angstrom, V
(Angstrom(3)) = 1535.93(3), Z = 4, and beta = 90.0971(2). The metal environ
ment is slightly distorted octahedral with a chelating bipyridyl ligand and
a facial arrangement of the carbon monoxide ligands.
