title: [N,N-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)propyl-amine-κP,P]bromidotricarbonyl-rhenium(I).
abstract: In the title compound, [ReBr(C(27)H(27)NP(2))(CO)(3)], the Re(I) atom is octa-hedrally surrounded by three carbonyl ligands in a facial arrangement, a bromide ligand and the P,P'-bidentate ligand Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)propyl-amine. The compound exhibits substitutional disorder of the bromide ligand and the axial carbonyl ligand, with almost 50% occupancy for both Br amd CO [0.538 (4) and 0.462 (4), respectively]. In addition, the propyl chain on the N atom of the bidentate ligand exhibits a 0.648 (9):0.352 (9) disorder. C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding consolidates the crystal packing.
