Tricarbonyl-chlorido{N-[2-(diphenyl-phosphino)benzyl-idene]benzyl-amine-κN,P}rhenium(I) dichloro-methane solvate.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [ReCl(C(26)H(22)NP)(CO)(3)]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Re(I) atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral environment defined by a facial arrangement of three carbonyl groups, a Cl atom and an N-[2-(diphenyl-phosphino)benzyl-idene]benzyl-amine ligand. The compound crystallizes with one CH(2)Cl(2) mol-ecule per asymmetric unit. The benzyl-amine ligand and the Re(I) centre form a non-planar six-membered chelate ring.
