3-hydroxido-tetrakis[tricarbonylrhenium(I)] pyridine tetrasolvateThe title compound, [Re4(
3-OH)4(CO)12]·4C5H5N, crystallizes with one tetranuclear rhenium(I) cubane-like molecule and four pyridine molecules in the asymmetric unit. The coordination environment of each ReI atom is distorted octahedral. Four intramolecular O-H
N and four intermolecular C-H
O hydrogen-bond interactions are observed. Relatively strong hydrogen bonds are found between the hydrogen-bond donor (
3-OH) and acceptor (basic N atom of pyridine), with N
O distances between 2.586 (10) and 2.628 (10) Å. Intercube distances of 9.873 (2) and 12.376 (3) Å are observed.
[NEt4]2[Re(CO)3Br3] (75 mg, 0.097 mmol), as prepared by Alberto et al. (1996), was dissolved in 20 ml of pyridine. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and left to stand. The colourless cuboidal crystals formed by evaporation after a few days.
Aromatic and hydroxyl H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(parent) of the parent atom with a C—H and O—H distance of 0.93 Å and 0.85 (2) Å respectively.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

The compound [Re4(CO)12(µ3-OH)4], which is a cubane-like molecule, crystallized with four pyridine ligands (hydrogen bond acceptor molecules or 'spacers') in the asymmetric unit. Four intramolecular hydrogen bonds are observed between the hydroxide bridges in the rhenium cluster and the pyridine molecules. These hydrogen interactions are also found by Copp et al. (1995) with benzene, toluene, p-xylene, p-fluorotoluene, naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene etc. surrounding the rhenium cluster as well as DMF and OPPh3 reported by Egli et al. (1997). Four intermolecular hydrogen interactions are reported between an aromatic carbon of the pyridine molecule to a carbonyl oxygen atom of the next rhenium cluster. The Re—O—Re angles (102.6 (3) ° to 104.7 (3) °) and the Re—O distances (2.154 (7) Å to 2.179 (6) Å) compare well to the structures of Herberhold & Süss (1975), Nuber et al. (1981), Copp et al. (1995) and Egli et al. (1997). The hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen-bond donor (µ3-OH) and acceptor (basic nitrogen of pyridine) are relatively strong with N···O distances ranging from 2.586 (10) Å to 2.628 (10) Å. This is comparable to the manganese structure by Copp et al. (1995) with a C···O distance of 2.74 Å from the bipyridine ligand to the bridging hydroxide oxygen. However, it does not correspond that well to the structure reported by Copp et al. (1995) with a distance of 3.58/3.59 Å for the C···O distance of the manganese structure with benzene as 'spacer'. Intercube distances of 9.873 (2) Å and 12.376 (3) Å are reported and fits well within the range found by Copp et al. (1995) (9.74 Å - 15.35 Å).
