Rhenium heptafluoride is the compound with the formula ReF7. It is a yellow low melting solid, and is the only thermally stable metal heptafluoride.[1] It has a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal structure similar to IF7, which was confirmed by neutron diffraction at 1.5K.[2] The structure is non-rigid as evidenced by electron diffraction studies.[3]
It can be prepared from the elements at 400°C.[4] With fluoride donors such as CsF, the ReF8− anion is formed, which has a square antiprismatic structure.[5] With antimony pentafluoride, SbF5, a fluoride acceptor, the ReF6+ cation is formed.[4]
