Abstract
Improved methods of preparing salts of the oxopentachlororhenate(V) ion, [ReOCl5]2–, are given and the magnetic properties of Cs2ReOCl5 are discussed. The hydrolysis of rhenium pentachloride in the presence of triphenylphosphine leads to the formation of rhenium(III) complexes. The reaction products of trans-dioxobis(ethylenediamine)rhenium(V) chloride with hydrochloric acid are reformulated. The visible spectra of some trans-dioxo-, oxohydroxo- and bis(hydroxo)rhenium(V) compounds are discussed.
