Contents

Synthesis

Rhenium(III) iodide can be synthesized by the decomposition of rhenium(IV) iodide: [3] [4]

2ReI4 → 2ReI3 + I2

Another way to make it is by introduction of ethanol into a mixture of perrhenic acid and hydroiodic acid.

HReO4 + 3HI + 2C2H5OH → ReI3 + 4H2O + 2CH3CHO

Physical properties

Rhenium(III) iodide forms violet-black crystals. It is poorly soluble in water, acetone, ethanol, ether, and dilute acid solutions.

Chemical properties

When heated in vacuum up to 170 °C, the compound decomposes to rhenium(II) iodide, and at 380 °C — to rhenium(I) iodide:

2ReI3 → 2ReI2 + I2
ReI3 → ReI + I2

Few compounds of californium have been made and studied. The only californium ion that is stable in aqueous solutions is the californium(III) cation. The other two oxidation states are IV (strong oxidizing agents) and II (strong reducing agents). The element forms a water-soluble chloride, nitrate, perchlorate, and sulfate and is precipitated as a fluoride, oxalate or hydroxide. If problems of availability of the element could be overcome, then CfBr2 and CfI2 would likely be stable.

Lutetium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal lutetium (Lu). In these compounds, lutetium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as LuCl3, Lu2O3 and Lu2(SO4)3. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colorless and form white crystalline solids upon drying, with the common exception of the iodide. The soluble salts, such as nitrate, sulfate and acetate form hydrates upon crystallization. The oxide, hydroxide, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate and oxalate are insoluble in water.

Rhenium compounds are compounds formed by the transition metal rhenium (Re). Rhenium can form in many oxidation states, and compounds are known for every oxidation state from -3 to +7 except -2, although the oxidation states +7, +4, and +3 are the most common. Rhenium is most available commercially as salts of perrhenate, including sodium and ammonium perrhenates. These are white, water-soluble compounds. The tetrathioperrhenate anion [ReS4] is possible.
