U. Monkowius and M. Zabel

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ReCl(C₂₆H₂₂NP)(CO)₃]·CH₂Cl₂, the Re^I atom exhibits a distorted octahedral environment defined by a facial arrangement of three carbonyl groups, a Cl atom and an N-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]benzylamine ligand. The compound crystallizes with one CH₂Cl₂ molecule per asymmetric unit. The benzylamine ligand and the Re^I centre form a non-planar six-membered chelate ring.
