The title compound, [ReClO(C18H14OP)2], contains severely distorted octahedra with a cis,cis,cis configuration. One of the phenolate O atoms is trans to the Re=O bond, whereas the two P atoms occupy cis sites. Departure from octahedral geometry can be interpreted in terms of steric hindrance between the phosphine groups, the small bite of the P-O chelating agent and the tendency of the Re=O bond to repel the adjacent bonds. Bond lengths are Re=O 1.686 (4), Re-Cl 2.394 (2), Re-P 2.443 (2), 2.451 (2), Re-O(phenolate) 2.003 (4) (trans to Re=O) and 1.987 (4) Å (trans to P).
