Aqua-tricarbon-yl(3,5,7-tribromo-tropolonato)rhenium(I) methanol solvate.

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Re(C(7)H(2)Br(3)O(2))(CO)(3)(H(2)O)]·CH(3)OH, crystallized as a neutral Re(I) compound and one methanol solvent mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The metal centre is coordinated facially by three carbonyl groups. The bidentate tribromo-tropolanate ligand and a water mol-ecule complete the distorted octahedral coordination around the central metal. Inter-molecular Br⋯O [3.226 (5) Å] and Br⋯Br [3.590 (2) Å] contacts are observed between adjacent mol-ecules. These contacts, together with an array of O-H⋯O, O-H⋯Br and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, complete a three-dimensional polymeric network formed between the methanol solvent and the complex.
