The title organometallic compound, fac-tricarbonyl-2kappa(3) C-(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)-2kappa(2) N,N'-triphenyl-1kappa(3) C-1-tin(II)-rhenium(I)(Sn-Re), [ReSn(C6H5)(3)(C12H12N2)(CO)(3)], contains three unique pi-pi stacking interactions. The result is an infinite chain of uninterrupted alternating intra- and intermolecular offset pi-pi stacking interactions throughout the crystal lattice. This extended pi-pi stacking arrangement, and an additional isolated intramolecular pi-pi interaction between the remaining 4,4'-dimethyl- 2,2'-bipyridine ring and a second phenyl group, impose geometric constraints on the Re and Sn atoms, yielding distorted octahedral and tetrahedral coordinations, respectively, for the metal centers.
