Abstract
A rhenium(VII) complex with 2-[(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]ethanethiol (Hpmaet), [Re(pmaet)O3], was synthesized. The crystal structure was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 123 K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 10.054(5)Å, b = 8.466(4)Å, c = 12.924(7)Å, β = 108.552(9)°, V = 1043.0(10)Å3, Dx = 2.557 g/cm3, and Z = 4. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.0195 and 0.0545, respectively, for all 2401 independent reflections. The compound consists of an octahedral molecule of rhenium(VII) with facial pmaet and three oxido oxygens.
