Synthesis
editFusion of rhenium with potassium bromide in a bromine vapor current:
- Re + 2KBr + 2Br2 → K2ReBr6
The effect of hydrobromic acid on a mixture of potassium bromide with rhenium(VI) oxide:[3]
- ReO2 + 2KBr + 4HBr → K2ReBr6 + 2H2O
Reduction of potassium perrenate by potassium iodide in concentrated hydrobromic acid:[3]
- 2KReO4 + 6KI + 16HBr → 2K2ReBr6 + 4KBr + 3I2 + 8H2O
Chemical properties
editPotassium hexabromorhenate dissolves in hydrobromic acid to create a red or deep yellow solution.[4]
Reacts with water.
- K2ReBr6 + 2H2O → ReO2 + 2KBr + 4HBr
Physical properties
editThe compound forms dark red crystals of cubic system, space group Fm3m.[5]
