Abstract

In the title compound, [ReBr(C(12)H(9)IN(2))(CO)(3)], the coordination geometry of the Re(I) ion is a distorted fac-ReC(3)BrN(2) octa-hedron, arising from the N,N'-bidentate ligand, a bromide ion and a facial arrangement of three carbonyl ligands. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings in the 4-iodo-N-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)aniline ligand is 46.2 (3)°. The bromide ion and its corresponding trans CO mol-ecule are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.966 (3):0.034 (3) ratio.
