Summary
The crystal structure of (PPh4)3[ReN(CN)5]·7H2O has been determined from three dimensional X-ray diffraction data. The orange crystals are triclinic, space group\(P\bar 1\), with cell dimensions a=12.514(3), b=15.8514), c=19.030(3) Å, α=77.62(2), β=84.61(1) and γ=74.03(2)o, z=2, Dobsd=1.40(1) g cm−3 and Dcalc=1.37(1) g cm−3. The anisotropic refinement of 5861 observed reflections converged to R=0.049.
The [ReN(CN)5]3− ion has a distorted octahedral geometry. Bond distances: Re≡N=1.68(1), Re−Cav (planar)=2.12(1), Re−C (axial)=2.39(1) Å. The Re atom is displaced by 0.31 Å out of the plane formed by the four carbon atoms towards the nitrido ligand.
