The crystal structure of the title compound, [Re6Se8{NCC(CH3)3}(Et3P)5](SbF6)2·NCC(CH3)3, contains a face-capped octahedral [Re6(μ3-Se)8]2+ cluster core. The pseudo-centrosymmetric [Re6Se8]2+ cluster core is bonded through the Re atoms to five triethylphosphane ligands and one trimethylacetonitrile ligand. No significant interactions are observed between the cationic cluster, the SbF6− anions and the trimethylacetonitrile solvent molecule.
