Crystal, molecular and electronic structure of the [ReCl3(bipy)(PPh3)] complex

X-ray structure of the [ReCl3(bipy)(PPh3)] complex has been determined and its geometric parameters have been examined using the density-functional theory method. The UV-Vis spectrum of the complex has been discussed on the basis of the electronic transitions of [ReCl3(bipy)(PPh3)] calculated with the time-dependent DFT method.
