title: Tetra-ethyl-ammonium dibromido-tricarbon-yl(o-toluidine)rhenate(I).
abstract: In the title compound, (C(8)H(20)N)[ReBr(2)(C(7)H(9)N)(CO)(3)], the Re(I) atom is octa-hedrally surrounded by three carbonyl ligands orientated in a facial arrangement, two bromide ligands and an o-toluidine ligand. The amine lies trans to the carbonyl ligand and is substitutionally disordered over two positions in a 0.66 (1):0.34 (1) ratio. An array of C-H⋯O, C-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the cations and the surrounding rhenate anions stabilize the crystal structure.
