In the title compound, [Re(C5H4F3O2)(C5H5N)(CO)3], the ReI atom is six-coordinated owing to bonding by three carbonyl ligands arranged in a fac configuration, two O atoms from the bidentate 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetonate ligand and an N atom from a pyridine ligand. In the crystal, the molecules pack in layers, diagonally, in a head-to-tail fashion across the ab plane. These layers are stabilsed by intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
