description

The title dinuclear complex, [Re2(C13H8NOS)2(CO)6], crystallizes in two polymorphs where the 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)phenolate ligands and two carbonyl groups aretrans- (I) orcis-arranged (II) with respect to the [Re2O2(CO)4] core. PolymorphsIandIIexhibit a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry and a twofold rotation axis, respectively. The structures may be described as being formed by two octahedrally distorted metal-coordinating units fused through μ-oxido bridges, leading to edge-sharing dimers. The crystal packing is governed by C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, forming chains parallel to thecaxis inIand a three-dimensional network inII.
