Abstract: We prove that it is not possible to classify separable von Neumann factors of types $I{I}_1$, $I{I}_{i}nfty$ or $II{I}_{l}ambda$, $0leqlambdaleq1$, up to isomorphism by a Borel measurable assignment of "countable structures" as invariants. In particular the isomorphism relation of type $I{I}_1$ factors is not smooth. We also prove that the isomorphism relation for von Neumann $I{I}_1$ factors is analytic, but is not Borel.
