The potentially terdentate dianionic ligand pyridine-2,6-bis(methanol) (H2L) acts as a didentate monoanionic N,O--donor in the title compound, dichloro(oxo)[pyridine-2,6-bis(methanolato)(1-)-N,O](triphenylphosphine-P)rhenium(V)-water (2/1), 2[ReCl2O{C5H3N(CH2O)(CH2OH)}(PPh3)].H2O. The asymmetric unit contains two monomeric neutral independent and well separated [ReOCl2(HL)(PPh3)] moieties per water molecule.
