reacted with Re (CO) 5 X (X= Cl and Br) in toluene to give [Re (C 14 H 10 N 2 O)(CO) 3
X](X= Cl, 1 and X= Br, 2). The prepared Schiff base of isatin and 4-methoxyaniline (L2; C 15
H 12 N 2 O 2) was reacted with Re (CO) 5 X in toluene to give [Re (C 14 H 10 N 2 O)(CO) 3
X], where X= Cl, 3 and X= Br, 4. L2 and Re (CO) 5 Br were refluxed in dry toluene under
nitrogen and recrystallized to give [Re (C 15 H 12 N 2 O 2)(CO) 3 Br]. 1/2 C 2 H 5 OH (5) …
