(2-Hydroxy-phenyl-imido-κN)(methano-lato-κO)[2-(2-oxidobenzyl-ideneamino)phenolato-κO,N,O'](triphenyl-phosphine-κP)rhenium(V).

In the neutral title compound, [Re(C(6)H(5)NO)(C(13)H(9)NO(2))(CH(3)O)(C(18)H(15)P)], an 18-valence-electron complex, the Re(V) ion lies in an octa-hedral coordination geometry with the tridentate dianionic Schiff base 2-(2-oxidobenzyl-idene-amino)phenolate ligand occupying three equatorial coordination sites, and with the triphenyl-phosphine ligand situated trans to the imine N atom. The Re(V) coordination is completed with a methano-late ligand and a 2-hydroxy-phenyl-imido(2-) ligand. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure involves O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. One N and one C atom are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.7 and 0.3.
