Synthesis and reactions
editIt forms via comproportionation:[3]
- 2 Re2O7 + 3 Re → 7 ReO2
Single crystals are obtained by chemical transport, using iodine as the transporting agent.:[4]
- ReO2 + I2 ⇌ ReO2I2
At high temperatures it undergoes disproportionation:
- 7 ReO2 → 2 Re2O7 + 3 Re
It forms rhenates with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and oxidizing acids.[5] In molten sodium hydroxide it forms sodium rhenate:[6]
- 2 NaOH + ReO2 → Na2ReO3 + H2O
