A. L. Beauchamp and O. Sigouin

Abstract: The title compound, [Re(CH₃O)Cl₂O(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)]·CH₂Cl₂, contains slightly distorted octahedrally coordinated molecules in which the methoxo group is trans to the oxo ligand. A cis arrangement of the Cl atoms is imposed in the equatorial plane by the bidentate diphosphine ligand. The methoxo group is approximately end-on coordinated [Re-O-CH₃ = 168.1  (5)°].
