cis-Dichlorido[2,3-dimethyl-3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2λ⁵-dioxaphospholan-2-yloxy)butan-2-olato-κ²O,P]oxido(triphenylphosphane-κP)rhenium(V)

Abstract

The title compound, cis-[Re(C12H24O4P)Cl2O(C18H15P)], was prepared from the analogous trans isomer [Głowiak et al. (2000 ▶). Polyhedron, 19, 2667–2672] by a trans–cis isomerization reaction. The ReV atom adopts a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. Besides being coordinated by the oxide and the butano­late O atoms, the ReV atom is coordinated by a pair of chloride ligands and two P atoms in cis positions with respect to each other. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
