Preparation

edit

Gallium can be anodically dissolved in perrhenic acid at 50-55 °C, and dried with sulfuric acid to obtain the hydrate crystal [Ga(H2O)6(ReO4)3]·2H2O.[2] The anhydrous form can be obtained by reacting gallium(III) oxide and rhenium(VII) oxide at 450 °C.[1]

Chemical properties

edit

Gallium perrhenate decomposes above 300 °C to form rhenium(VII) oxide and gallium(III) oxide:[3]

2 Ga(ReO4)3 → 3 Re2O7 + Ga2O3
