ReOH
ReOH refers to a class of chemical compounds containing a hydroxyl group directly bonded to a renium atom. These compounds are organometallic in nature, meaning they possess a bond between a carbon atom and a renium atom, in addition to the hydroxyl functional group. The general formula for such compounds is typically R-Re(=O)n(OH)m, where R represents an organic group, and n and m are integers indicating the number of oxo and hydroxyl groups, respectively.
Rhenium is a transition metal known for its high melting point and density. Its organometallic chemistry is
The synthesis of ReOH compounds can involve various routes, often starting from rhenium oxides or halides.
Potential applications for ReOH compounds are still largely in the research and development phase. Some rhenium-based
