Perrhenic acid is the chemical compound with the formula Re
2O
7(OH
2)
2. It is obtained by evaporating aqueous solutions of Re
2O
7. Conventionally, perrhenic acid is considered to have the formula HReO
4, and a species of this formula forms when rhenium(VII) oxide sublimes in the presence of water or steam.[2] When a solution of Re
2O
7 is kept for a period of months, it breaks down and crystals of HReO
4·H
2O are formed, which contain tetrahedral ReO−
4[3] For most purposes, perrhenic acid and rhenium(VII) oxide are used interchangeably. Rhenium can be dissolved in nitric or concentrated sulfuric acid to produce perrhenic acid.

Properties

The structure of solid perrhenic acid is [O
3Re-O-ReO
3(H
2O)
2].[4] This species is a rare example of a metal oxide coordinated to water—most often metal-oxo-aquo species are unstable with respect to the corresponding hydroxides:

M(O)(H
2O) → M(OH)
2

Gaseous perrhenic acid is tetrahedral, as suggested by its formula HReO
4.

Reactions

Perrhenic acid or the related anhydrous oxide Re
2O
7 converts to dirhenium heptasulfide upon treatment with hydrogen sulfide:

Re
2O
7 + 7 H
2S → Re
2S
7 + 7 H
2O

The heptasulfide, which has a complex structure,[5] catalyses the hydrogenation of double bonds and is useful because it tolerates sulfur compounds, which poison noble metal catalysts. Re
2S
7 also catalyses the reduction of nitric oxide to N
2O.

Perrhenic acid in the presence of HCl undergoes reduction in the presence of thioethers and tertiary phosphines to give Re(V) complexes with the formula ReOCl
3L
2.[6]

Perrhenic acid combined with platinum on a support gives rise to a useful hydrogenation and hydrocracking catalyst for the petroleum industry.[7] For example, silica impregnated with a solution of perrhenic acid is reduced with hydrogen at 500 °C.[citation needed] This catalyst is used in the dehydrogenation of alcohols and also promotes the decomposition of ammonia.

Catalysis

Perrhenic acid is a precursor to a variety of homogeneous catalysts, some of which are promising in niche applications that can justify the high cost of rhenium. In combination with tertiary arsines, perrhenic acid gives a catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes with hydrogen peroxide.[8] Perrhenic acid catalyses the dehydration of oximes to nitriles.[9]

Other uses

Perrhenic acid is also used in the manufacture of x-ray targets.[10][11]
