Crystal structure of fac-aqua­[(E)-4-(benzo[d]thia­zol-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl­methyl­idene)aniline-κ(2) N,N′]tricarbonylrhenium(I) hexa­fluorido­phosphate methanol monosolvate

In the title compound, fac-[Re(C(19)H(13)N(3)S)(CO)(3)(H(2)O)]PF(6)·CH(3)OH, the coordination environment of the Re(I) atom is octa­hedral with a C(3)N(2)O coordination set. In this mol­ecule, the N,N′ bidentate ligand, (E)-4-(benzo[d]thia­zol-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl­methyl­idene)aniline, and the monodentate aqua ligand occupy the three available coordination sites of the [Re(CO)(3)](+) core, generating a ‘2 + 1’ mixed-ligand complex. In this complex, the Re—C bonds of the carbonyl ligands trans to the coordinating N,N′ atoms of the bidentate ligand are longer than the Re—C bond of the carbonyl group trans to the aqua ligand, in accordance with the intensity of their trans effects. The complex is positively charged with PF(6) (−) as the counter-ion. In the structure, the complexes form dimers through π–π inter­molecular inter­actions. O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of stacks parallel to the a axis, which further extend into layers parallel to (0[Image: see text]1). Through O—H⋯F hydrogen bonds between the complexes and the PF(6) (−)counter-anions, a three-dimensional network is established.
