The title organometallic compound, fac-tricarbonyl-2k3C-(4, 4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)-2k2N,N′-triphenyl- 1k3C1-tin(II)-rhenium(I)(Sn - Re), [ReSn(C 6H5)3(C12H12N 2)(CO)3], contains three unique π-π stacking interactions. The result is an infinite chain of uninterrupted alternating intra- and intermolecular offset π-π stacking interactions throughout the crystal lattice. This extended π-π stacking arrangement, and an additional isolated intramolecular π-π 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.
