I carried out reactions of various ligands with the precursor rhenium(I) pentacarbonyl chloride in toluene to obtain rhenium(I) chloride complexes. The compounds produced were further used fot the synthesis of aqua complexes. The resulting products were characterised using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Various crystallisation methods were used to crystallise the products. The structure of the successfully obtained crystals was determined by X-ray diffraction.
