Synthesis and crystal structure of tricarbonylchlorido{1-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)amino]adamantane}rhenium(I)

The title compound, [ReCl(pyAm)(CO)3], where pyAm is 1-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)amino]adamantane (C16H20N2), was synthesized from the reaction of [ReCl(CO)5] and pyAm in an equimolar ratio. The ReI atom resides in an octahedral C3ClN2 coordination sphere. The Re—C bond trans to the chloride ligand...

Description
Summary:The title compound, [ReCl(pyAm)(CO)3], where pyAm is 1-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)amino]adamantane (C16H20N2), was synthesized from the reaction of [ReCl(CO)5] and pyAm in an equimolar ratio. The ReI atom resides in an octahedral 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 interactions consoldiate the packing of the molecules. In this design, the pyAm ligand was employed due to its well-known pharmacokinetic properties.
