Rhenium(VII) sulfide is a chemical compound with theformula Re2S7. It has a complex structure, but can be synthesized from direct combination of the elements:[1]Alternatively,rhenium(VII) oxide reacts withhydrogen sulfide in 4NHCl to the same end:[2]
The compound catalyses the reduction ofnitric oxide tonitrous oxide and hydrogenation of double bonds. In this regard, it unusually tolerates sulfur compounds, which poisonnoble metal catalysts.[1]
Rhenium(VII) sulfide decomposes when heated. Invacuum, it generatesrhenium(IV) sulfide:
In air, the sulfide oxidizes tosulfur dioxide:
