Crystal structure of tricarbon-yltris(pyri-dine-κN)rhenium(I) tetra-fluorido-borate.

In the title compound, [Re(C6H5N)3(CO)3]BF4, the Re(I) ion is six-coordinated by three pyridine N atoms and three carbonyl C atoms. In each case, the carbonyl C atom lies trans to a pyridine N atom. In the crystal, the ions are linked via C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional framework. The F atoms of the BF4 anion are disordered over two positions and gave a final refined occupancy ratio of 0.705 (11):0.295 (11).
