The title complex, [ReCl3O(C18H15OP)(C18H15P)], is produced in a reaction between [Re(O)Cl3(PPh3)2] and ethyl 2-hydroxymethyl sulfoxide. The structure is compared to that of [Re(O)Cl3(PPhEt2)(OPPhEt2)]. The Re-Cl distances are shorter [2.361 (2)-2.384 (2) Å] and the Re-P distance is longer [2.506 (2) Å] in the title complex.
