In the title complex, (C8H20N)[Re(C5H3N2O2)Cl(CO)3], the ReI atom is coordinated facially by three carbonyl groups; the bidentate pyrazinecarboxylato ligand and a chlorine atom complete the distorted octahedral coordination.
ReCl3(CO)3 (64.2 mg, 0.01 mmol) was suspended in 10 ml methanol. The solution was heated to reflux and 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid (13.1 mg, 0.01 mmol) dissolved in ca 5 ml methanol was added whilst stirring. A bright yellow colour resulted on addition of the ligand to the metal. K2CO3 7.1 mg (0.005 mmol) was added to the solution. The reaction solution was refluxed for 6 h after which the solvent volume was decreased on a rotovapor. The MeOH solution was layered with a minimal amount of diethyl ether and left to stand in a refrigerator. After a few days yellow crystals were formed.
The methyl, methylene and aromatic H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances = 0.96, 0.97 and 0.96 Å, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(methyl-C) and 1.2Ueq(methylene and aromatic-C). The highest residual electron density was located 0.93 Å from H17C and was essentially meaningless.

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. |

The title complex, (I), forms a part of an ongoing investigation of the structural and kinetic behaviour of fac-Re(CO)3 compounds (Schutte et al., 2008). It crystallized as an anionic ReI compound and one tetraethylammonium counter ion in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The Re—CO bond distances are well within the normal range (Allen et al., 1987). The small bite angle O4—Re1—N1 might be a reason for the slightly distorted octahedral geometry around the metal centre. There are no classical hydrogen bonds in the structure.
