The chemistry of bis(arylimino)isoindoline (BAI) ligands, and their transition metal complexes have been widely explored for their use as catalysts, and photoactive materials.  These planar BAI ligands tend to bind to metals in a meridional coordination mode.  Rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes prefer a facial coordination geometry, and no BAI complexes of Re(I) have been reported in the literature.  In this work, we present the synthesis of a series of three ReCO<sub>3</sub>(BAI) complexes where the ligand binds in a facial coordination mode.  The resultant compounds been fully characterized, including by single crystal X-ray diffraction. <br/>
