A gas-phase chemical study of rhenium carbonyls was carried out using short-lived radioisotopes produced at a heavy-ion accelerator. The Re isotopes produced in the nuclear reactions of natGd(23Na,xn)172-177Re were pre-separated with a gas-filled recoil ion separator and their carbonyls were synthesized in a mixture of inert gas and carbon monoxide. Using a low temperature isothermal chromatography apparatus, the adsorption enthalpies of Re carbonyls were derived to be ΔHads = -42 ± 2 kJ mol-1 on a Teflon® surface by fitting the external chromatograms with a Monte Carlo simulation program. A chemical yield of 25% relative to that of the transport yield for Re by a He/KCl gas-jet was achieved. The laser-ablation time-of-flight mass-spectrometric technique was employed to identify the species of Re carbonyls produced in the gas phase. The most stable species was deduced to be Re(CO)5 based on the mass-spectrometric analysis as well as quantum chemistry calculations.

Over the last five decades, diimine rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes have been extensively investigated due to their remarkable and widely tuned photophysical properties. These systems are regarded as attractive targets for design functional luminescent materials and performing fundamental studies of photoinduced processes in transition metal complexes. This review summarizes the latest developments concerning Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes bearing donor-acceptor (D-A) and donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) ligands.

This perpective delves into the emerging field of matere bonds, a novel type of noncovalent interaction involving group 7 elements such as manganese, technetium, and rhenium. Matere bonds, a new member of the σ-hole family where metal atoms act as electron acceptors, have been shown experimentally and theoretically to play significant roles in the self-assembly and stabilization of supramolecular structures both in solid-state and solution-phase environments. This perspective article explores the physical nature of these interactions, emphasizing their directionality and structural influence in various supramolecular architectures.

Ta/Re layered composite material is a high-temperature material composed of the refractory metal tantalum (Ta) as the matrix and high-melting-point, high-strength rhenium (Re) as the reinforcement layer. It holds significant potential for application in aerospace engine nozzles. Developing the Ta/Re potential function is crucial for understanding the diffusion behavior at the Ta/Re interface and elucidating the high-temperature strengthening and toughening mechanism of Ta/Re layered composites.

Food freshness monitoring and volatile amine detection are key to food safety. In this study, we demonstrated the applicability of mixed-valence rhenium oxide quantum dots (MV-ReOQDs), synthesized via the hydrothermal reaction of α-cyclodextrin and rhenium ion precursors, in triethylamine (TEA) sensing. Spectroscopic correlation techniques showed that the developed MV-ReOQDs possessed mixed-valent rhenium, α-cyclodextrin as capped ligand, partially carbonized surface, and amorphous phase structure.

The development of multifunctional therapeutic agents is crucial for addressing complex diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Herein, we report a ruthenium-rhenium (Ru-Re) complex that combines photodynamic therapy (PDT) and carbon monoxide (CO) generation capabilities. The Ru-Re complex shows promising photophysical property and significant therapeutic potential.
