Abstract: In the title compound, [ReBr(C₂₇H₂₇NP₂)(CO)₃], the Re^I atom is octahedrally surrounded by three carbonyl ligands in a facial arrangement, a bromide ligand and the P,P'-bidentate ligand Bis(diphenylphosphino)propylamine. The compound exhibits substitutional disorder of the bromide ligand and the axial carbonyl ligand, with almost 50% occupancy for both Br amd CO [0.538 (4) and 0.462 (4), respectively]. In addition, the propyl chain on the N atom of the bidentate ligand exhibits a 0.648 (9):0.352 (9) disorder. C-HO and C-HBr hydrogen bonding consolidates the crystal packing.
