Rhenium Hexafluoride (ReF₆)(CAT: M122721) is a yellow crystalline solid and a volatile compound that sublimates easily at room temperature. It is composed of rhenium in its +6 oxidation state and six fluorine atoms, forming an octahedral structure. As a strong oxidizer, ReF₆ is primarily used in research settings for studying metal-fluorine interactions and the behavior of high-valence rhenium compounds. Its reactivity and ability to form complexes make it valuable in inorganic chemistry and materials science. However, it is highly toxic and corrosive, particularly in the presence of moisture, requiring careful handling to avoid exposure to hydrogen fluoride (HF).
