(2-Hydroxyphenylimido-κN)(methanolato-κO)[2-(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)phenolato-κ2 O,N,O′](triphenylphosphine-κP)rhenium(V)

In the neutral title compound, [Re(C6H5NO)(C13H9NO2)(CH3O)(C18H15P)], an 18-valence-electron complex, the ReV ion lies in an octahedral coordination geometry with the tridentate dianionic Schiff base 2-(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)phenolate ligand occupying three equatorial coordination sites, and with the triphenylphosphine ligand situated trans to the imine N atom. The ReV coordination is completed with a methanolate ligand and a 2-hydroxyphenylimido(2-) ligand. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure involves O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. One N and one C atom are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.7 and 0.3.
