The title compound, (C6H9N2)2·[ReO(H2O)Br4]·Br, is a molecular salt incorporating rhenium(V)-containing oxoanions. The oxoanion shows a distorted trans-ReO2Br4 geometry. In the crystal structure, the component species are connected via N-H
Br and O-H
Br interactions.
(NH4)2ReBr6 was obtained by the method of Watt & Thompson (1963). A mixture of (NH4)2ReBr6 (0.33 g) and 2-amino-6-methylpyridine (0.80 g) was dissolved in 50- ml of ethanol solution, which was heated at 323 K for 10 h followed by slow cooling. After the reaction the mixture colour was yellow–orange. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was left standing for evaporation. After five days, orange plates of (I) appeared. Anal. Calc for C12H20Br5N4O2Re: C 17.19, H 2.57, N 6.68%; found C 16.34, H 2.30, N 6.54%. IR (KBr): 1195(versus), 1200(s), 990(m), 950(s), 1054(m), 980(s), 873(m), 810(s), 730(m), 310(s), 174(m), 159(m).
The N– and O-bound H atoms were located in difference maps and their positions were freely refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier). The C-bound H atoms were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).
The highest difference peak is 0.59Å from Re1. The deepest difference hole is 0.68Å from Re1.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R– factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

This paper reports the crystal structure of a molecular salt containing the [ReVO(H2O)Br4]− anion. All atoms lie on general positions (Fig. 1). The [ReO(H2O)Br4]− anion in (I) shows a distorted trans-ReO2Br4 octahedral geometry about the central Re(V) ion (Table 1). The water molecule is weakly coordinated to rhenium at the base of octahedron with a Re—O distance of 2.206 (3) Å. The Re—Br bond lengths in (I) agree with those in related crystal structures (Abram et al., 1996; Chiozzone et al., 2006; Kochel, 2007).
In the crystal, the component species interact via N—H···Br and O—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 2), resulting in alternating layers of anions and cations perpendicular to [010] The shortest Re···Re distances in (I) are 6.819 (3) Å for Re1···Re1i (i = −x, −y + 2, −z + 1) and 8.546 (4) Å for Re1···Re2i (i = −x − 1, −y + 2, −z).
