Abstract: In the neutral title compound, [Re(C₆H₅NO)(C₁₃H₉NO₂)(CH₃O)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], an 18-valence-electron complex, the Re^V ion lies in an octahedral coordination geometry with the tridentate dianionic Schiff base 2-(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)phenolate ligand occupying three equatorial coordination sites, and with the triphenylphosphine ligand situated trans to the imine N atom. The Re^V coordination is completed with a methanolate ligand and a 2-hydroxyphenylimido(2-) ligand. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure involves O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds. One N and one C atom are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.7 and 0.3.
