'''Rhenium trioxide''' (''rhenium(VI) oxide'', '''ReO<sub>3</sub>''') is a red solid with a metallic lustre. It is the only stable ] of the Group 7 elements (], ], ]).


'''Rhenium trioxide''' or '''rhenium(VI) oxide''' is an ] with the formula ReO<sub>3</sub>. It is a red solid with a metallic lustre that resembles ] in appearance. It is the only stable ] of the Group 7 elements (], ], ]).
==Structure==
Rhenium oxide forms crystals with a ] ] ], with a ] of 3.742 ] (374.2 ]). The structure of ReO<sub>3</sub> is similar to the ] structure (ABO<sub>3</sub>), without the large A cation at the centre of the unit cell. Each rhenium atom is surrounded by six oxygen atoms, forming a ReO<sub>6</sub> ]. These octahedra share corners to form the 3-dimensional structure<ref>S.J. Heyes (2000) , Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford.</ref>.


==Preparation and structure==
Upon viewing a unit cell of ReO<sub>3</sub>, one can see that it is composed of eight ⅛ fragments of rhenium atoms, and twelve ¼ fragments of oxygen atoms. These numbers reduce to 1 Re and 3 O, hence the formula of ReO<sub>3</sub>. The coordination number of Re in this compound is 6 because each rhenium atom has six neighbouring oxygen atoms which bear opposite charge. The coordination number of O in this compound is 2 because each oxygen atom has 2 neighbouring Re atoms of opposite charge.
Rhenium trioxide can be formed by reducing ] with ] at 200&nbsp;°C or elemental ] at 400&nbsp;°C.<ref>H. Nechamkin, C. F. Hiskey, "Rhenium(VI): Oxide (Rhenium Trioxide)" Inorganic Syntheses, 1950 Volume 3, pp. 186-188. {{doi|10.1002/9780470132340.ch49}}</ref>

Rhenium trioxide crystallizes with a ] ] ], with a ] of 3.742 ] (374.2 ]). The structure of ReO<sub>3</sub> is similar to that of ] (ABO<sub>3</sub>), without the large A cation at the centre of the unit cell. Each rhenium center is surrounded by an ] defined by six oxygen centers. These octahedra share corners to form the 3-dimensional structure. The coordination number of O is 2, because each oxygen atom has 2 neighbouring Re atoms.<ref name="G&E1047">{{Greenwood&Earnshaw}}, p. 1047.</ref>
