Description

Perrhenic acid is a peroxide-based chemical compound. It can be synthesized by the reaction of methyl ethyl and rhenium metal in the presence of hydrogen gas and a solid catalyst. The reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism, with zirconium oxide being used as the catalyst. Perrhenic acid has been shown to have high values for oxidation activity, and is also a strong electron donor. This compound can be used as an oxidation catalyst, or as a catalyst in reactions that require high values of heat or light energy input. Structural analysis has shown that perrhenic acid is composed of zirconium and rhenium atoms with alternating six-coordinate and five-coordinate bonds. The molecule also contains two oxygen atoms which are bonded to the central atom at three points each, forming three oxo groups.
