Rhenium(IV) oxide（Cat No.:M061908）, with the chemical formula ReO2, is an inorganic compound consisting of rhenium and oxygen. This dark-colored solid is one of the several oxides of rhenium and is notable for its unusual stoichiometry, compared to the more common rhenium heptoxide (Re2O7). Rhenium(IV) oxide exhibits metallic conductivity and crystallizes in a rutile structure, which is significant in various catalytic applications. It is typically used as a catalyst in organic syntheses and can also act as a precursor for preparing other rhenium compounds, which are used in superalloys and thermocouples.
