Crystal structures of fac-tri­carbonyl­chlorido­(6,6′-dihy­droxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine)­rhenium(I) tetra­hydro­furan monosolvate and fac-bromido­tricarbon­yl(6,6′-dihy­droxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine)­manganese(I) tetra­hydro­furan monosolvate

The structures of two facially coordinated Group VII metal complexes, fac-[ReCl(C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2))(CO)(3)]·C(4)H(8)O (I·THF) and fac-[MnBr(C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2))(CO)(3)]·C(4)H(8)O (II·THF), are reported. In both complexes, the metal ion is coordinated by three carbonyl ligands, a halide ligand, and a 6,6′-dihy­droxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine ligand in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Both complexes co-crystallize with a non-coordinating tetra­hydro­furan (THF) solvent mol­ecule and exhibit inter­molecular but not intra­molecular hydrogen bonding. In both crystal structures, chains of complexes are formed due to inter­molecular hydrogen bonding between a hy­droxy group from the 6,6′-dihy­droxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine ligand and the halide ligand from a neighboring complex. The THF mol­ecule is hydrogen bonded to the remaining hy­droxy group.
