In the title complex, [Re2(C6H5Te)2(C11H9N)(CO)7], two Re atoms are coordinated in slightly distorted octahedral coordination environments and are bridged by two Te atoms, which are coordinated in trigonal-pyramidal environments. The torsion angle for the Te—Re—Te—Re sequence of atoms is 17.06 (3)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions. In addition, there are Te...Te distances [4.0392 (12) Å] and O...O distances [2.902 (19) Å] which are shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii for these atoms. A short intermolecular lone pair...π distance [C[triple-bond]O...Cg = 3.31 (2) Å] is also observed.
