Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Re(CF3COO)(CH3CN)2(CO)3], the Re atom has a distorted octahedral configuration. The two acetonitrile molecules and two of the three carbonyl groups occupy the equatorial plane of the complex, with the third carbonyl ligand and the trifluoroacetato ligand in the axial positions. The three carbonyl ligands are arranged in a fac configuration around the Re atom. The CF3 segment of the trifluoroacetato ligand shows rotational disorder and the refined site-occupancy factors of the disordered parts are ca 0.5/0.5. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H...O and C—H...F hydrogen bonds.
