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.
When heated above 75 °C, it decomposes to rhenium heptoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen:
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.
Structure
X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopic evidence rejects the formulations NO2ReO4 or Re2O7·N2O5, but instead suggests a polymeric structure with a monodentate nitrate ligand.
