Rhenium(IV) oxide or rhenium dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula ReO₂. This gray to black crystalline solid is a laboratory reagent that can be used as a catalyst. It adopts the rutile structure.

Synthesis and reactions

It forms via comproportionation:^[3]

2 Re₂O₇ + 3 Re → 7 ReO₂

At high temperatures it undergoes disproportionation:

7 ReO₂ → 2 Re₂O₇ + 3 Re

It forms perrhenates with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and oxidizing acids.^[4] In molten sodium hydroxide it forms sodium rhenate:^[5]

2 NaOH + ReO₂ → Na₂ReO₃ + H₂O
