Crystal structures of fac-tri-carbonyl-chlorido-(6,6'-dihy-droxy-2,2'-bi-pyridine)-rhenium(I) tetra-hydro-furan monosolvate and fac-bromido-tricarbon-yl(6,6'-dihy-droxy-2,2'-bi-pyridine)-manganese(I) tetra-hydro-furan monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: The structures of two facially coordinated Group VII metal complexes, fac-[ReCl(C10H8N2O2)(CO)3]·C4H8O (I·THF) and fac-[MnBr(C10H8N2O2)(CO)3]·C4H8O (II·THF), are reported. In both complexes, the metal ion is coordinated by three carbonyl ligands, a halide ligand, and a 6,6'-dihy-droxy-2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Both complexes co-crystallize with a non-coordinating tetra-hydro-furan (THF) solvent mol-ecule and exhibit inter-molecular but not intra-molecular hydrogen bonding. In both crystal structures, chains of complexes are formed due to inter-molecular hydrogen bonding between a hy-droxy group from the 6,6'-dihy-droxy-2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand and the halide ligand from a neighboring complex. The THF mol-ecule is hydrogen bonded to the remaining hy-droxy group.
