To a solution containing [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] (2.08 g, 2.50 mmol) (Johnson et al., 1967) in toluene (100 cm3) was added a solution containing 8-aminoquinoline (0.518 g, 3.59 mmol) in toluene (38 cm3). This mixture was stirred at 298 K for 1 d and the unreacted materials were filtered off. When the dark red solution was stood at 298 K for 2 weeks, the dark red microcrystals appeared (yield 0.10 g). Found: C 47.04, H 3.30, N 4.00%. Calculated for [Re(C9H6N2)Cl3(C18H15P)]: C 46.53, H 3.04, N 4.02%. The crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by the recrystallization from acetonitrile at 298 K.
After checking their presence in the difference map, all H atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their attached atoms [C—H = N—H = 0.95 Å; U = 1.3U(C,N)]. The major features in the final difference map area associated with the Re atoms.

Refinement. Refinement using reflections with F2 > -10.0 σ(F2). The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). |

Since the first arylimido Re complex, [ReCl3(NPh)(PEt2Ph)2] (Ph = phenyl, Et = ethyl), was synthesized using aniline as the source of the imido-type ligand (Chatt & Rowe, 1962), many analogous complexes have been reported (Refosco et al., 1998). In complexes with such monodentate arylimido ligands, the coordinated nitrogen atom is fully deprotonated and the very short Re—N(imido) distances are observed. On the other hand, the Re complexes with the polydentate arylimido ligand are still rare. For example, the complexes with 8-imidoquinoline (imq) have not been obtained, but the complex with 8-amidoquinoline, [ReO(Himq)2(PPh3)]BPh4, was formed by the reaction of [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with 8-aminoquinoline (H2imq) (Ahmet et al., 1995). In this work, we report the structure of the Re complex with imq, [ReCl3(imq)(PPh3)], (I). There are two crystallographically independent complex molecules in an asymmetric unit that are related by an approximate c glide. A perspective drawing of one of the molecules is shown in Fig. 1, and the selected bond distances and angles are listed in Table 1. The crystal structures consist of neutral molecules, in which each central Re atom is octahedrally surrounded by an imq, a PPh3 and three Cl- ligands. The Cl- ligands coordinate facially to the Re atom, and imq ligand acts as a bidentate ligand. \sch
The bond distances and angles in the crystallographically independent molecules 1 and 2 are similar to each other (Table 1). One of the Re—N distances [Re(m)—N(m2)] for imq is significantly shorter than the other. This is inconsistent with the fact that the M—N(amine) and M—N(quinoline ring) distances for H2imq are similar to each other (M = Zn; Kerr et al., 1981 or M = Sn; Hazell et al., 1997), in which both M—N distances exhibit the single bonding behavior. The Re—N(amido) distances for the Re complex with the partially deprotonated Himq, [ReO(Himq)2(PPh3)]BPh4, are 1.958 (6) and 2.028 (6) Å (Ahmet et al., 1995). Similar distances were observed for the Re complexes containing the partially deprotonated amido N atoms of aminophenyl derivatives [1.988 (4) Å; Ahmet et al., 1995, or 1.973 (7) Å; Refosco et al., 1995], and of the 3- or 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzene [1.96 (2)–1.98 (3) Å; Bandoli et al., 2000]. On the other hand, the short Re—N(imido) distances were observed for the Re complexes containing the fully deprotonated imido nitrogen atoms of aminophenyl derivatives [1.757 (4) Å; Ahmet et al., 1995, or 1.780 (7) Å; Refosco et al., 1995]. Further, the Re(m)—N(m2)-C(m26) angles are some larger than the corresponding angles [117.4 (5) and 120.3 (5)°] of the complex with the amido-type Himq (Ahmet et al., 1995). Accordingly, the Re—N(imido) bond for imq seems to have a double-bond character and the Re—N(quinoline ring) bond has a normal single-bond, that is, this suggests that two protons of the amino group in H2imq are fully deprotonated, indicating that the Re atom in this complex is pentavalent. In addition, the Re(m)—Cl(m1) distance occupying the trans position of the P atom is longer than those occupying the other two cis positions. This indicates obviously the trans influence for the P atom in PPh3.
In the bond angles around the Re atom concerning imq, the Cl(m3)-Re(m)—N(m2) angle is significantly deviated from 180° (Table 1) for the ideal octahedral geometry. This seems to depend on not only the acute bite angle and the Re—N(imido) double bonding of imq, but also the interaction between the aromatic rings of PPh3 and imq. The torsion angle for N(m1)-Re(m)—P(m)—C(m13) torsion angle is 16.8 (4)° in 1 and 16.4 (4)° in 2, and the closest Nm1—Cm14 distance is 3.15 (1) Å in 1 and 3.11 (1) Å in 2. These facts suggest that the two aromatic π-rings, which are almost parallel, overlap each other, and the intramolecular π-π interactions exist between their π-rings. Furthermore, imq ligands in the two molecules are almost parallel and their distances are about 3.5 Å. Similar distances were observed for the tetranuclear PdII complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine, indicating the π-π stacking contacts (Yamada & Okamato, 1999; Yamada et al., 2000). Accordingly, these facts seem to indicate that the intermolecular π-π interactions also exist between imq ligands for two complex molecules in the unit cell.
