WReN3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one N(1), one N(5), one N(6), and two equivalent N(4) atoms. In the second W site, W(2) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one N(3), and one N(6) atom. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one N(2), one N(6), two equivalent N(4), and two equivalent N(5) atoms. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one N(5), and three equivalent N(3) atoms. There are six inequivalent N sites.

In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to one W(2), one Re(1), and one Re(2) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one W(2) and three equivalent Re(2) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded to two equivalent W(1) and two equivalent Re(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NRe2W2 tetrahedra.
