Synthesis and crystal structure of tri-carbonyl-chlorido-{1-[(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)amino]-adamantane}rhenium(I).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [ReCl(pyAm)(CO)₃], where pyAm is 1-[(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)amino]-adamantane (C₁₆H₂₀N₂), was synthesized from the reaction of [ReCl(CO)₅] and pyAm in an equimolar ratio. The Re^I atom resides in an octa-hedral C₃ClN₂ coordination sphere. The Re-C bond trans to the chloride ligand is noticeably longer compared to the other two Re-C distances. Weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions consoldiate the packing of the mol-ecules. In this design, the pyAm ligand was employed due to its well-known pharmacokinetic properties.
