Rhenium trioxynitrate, also known as rhenium(VII) trioxide nitrate, is a chemical compound with the formula ReO3NO3. It is a white solid that readily hydrolyzes in moist air. [1]

Contents

Preparation and properties

Rhenium trioxynitrate is prepared by the reaction of ReO3Cl (produced by reacting rhenium trioxide and chlorine) and dinitrogen pentoxide: [1]

ReO3Cl + N2O5 → ReO3NO3 + NO2Cl

The ReO3Cl can be replaced with rhenium heptoxide, however, this produces an impure product. This compound reacts with water to produce perrhenic acid and nitric acid. [1]

When heated above 75 °C, it decomposes to rhenium heptoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen: [1]

4 ReO3NO3 → 2 Re2O7 + 2 NO2 + O2

A graphite intercalation compound can be produced by reacting a mixture of rhenium trioxynitrate and dinitrogen pentoxide with graphite. [2]

Structure

X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopic evidence rejects the formulations NO2+ReO4 or Re2O7·N2O5, but instead suggests a polymeric structure with a monodentate nitrate ligand. [1] [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nitrogen</span> Chemical element, symbol N and atomic number 7

Nitrogen is the chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7. Nitrogen is a nonmetal and the lightest member of group 15 of the periodic table, often called the pnictogens. It is a common element in the universe, estimated at seventh in total abundance in the Milky Way and the Solar System. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bond to form N2, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas. N2 forms about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, making it the most abundant uncombined element in air. Because of the volatility of nitrogen compounds, nitrogen is relatively rare in the solid parts of the Earth.
