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
