Abstract: | The Re atom in [Re(C9H6N2)Cl3(C18H15P)] is octahedrally coordinated by three Cl atoms in facial positions, two N atoms from 8‐imidoquinoline (imq) and one P atom from triphenylphosphine. The Re—N(imido) distance [1.760 (9) and 1.772 (8) Å] for imq is very short and implies double‐bond character. The trans influence of the P atom is indicated. Intra‐ and intermolecular π–π interactions between the π‐rings in the complex are also observed. |
