    Technetium is the first synthetic element.
    Because technetium is rare and radioactive, there is not much research on the chemical properties of technetium
    .


    Bowl is the last non-synthetic element to be discovered


    1.
    Elements and compounds of nickel

    When smelting molybdenite (MoS 2 ), the trace amount is converted into volatile Re 2 O 7 , and the collected Re 2 O 7 is converted into ammonium salt and then reduced with hydrogen at high temperature to obtain a metal pot
    .



    Rhenium is a silver-gray metal with metallic luster, high density (21g·cm -3 ), and high melting point (3170°C), second only to the most refractory metal tungsten among metals
    .

    The alloy made of rhenium and other metals has high hardness, high temperature resistance, good elasticity and wear resistance
    .


    Metal rhenium can be used as the contact of filament, pen tip, switch, rhenium tungsten thermocouple can measure and control high temperature up to 2500℃; in industry, rhenium is used as a catalyst for the production of certain organic compounds


    The chemical properties of rhenium are very stable
    .


    It is acid and alkali resistant and does not react with hydrofluoric acid


    Compared with Mn(Ⅶ), Re(Ⅶ) is more stable and weaker in oxidation
    .

    The oxides of Re mainly include: Re 2 O 7 , yellow, with a melting point of about 300°C; ReO 3 , red, with metallic luster, and decomposes at 400°C; Re 2 O 5 , blue, unstable, easily disproportionated to Re 2 O 7 and ReO 2 ; ReO 2 , gray, very stable, disproportionate to Re 2 O 7 and elemental Re at 900°C

    The structure and four-fold bond of [ReaCl 8 ] 2-

    In the [Re 2 Cl 8 ]2- structure, the distance between Re-Re is much smaller than the Re-Re bond length in metal crystals, and there are multiple Re-Re bonds
    .


    The structure of [Re 2 C 1 8 ] 2- is shown in Figure 16-4 .


    Figure 16-4 The structure of [Re 2 Cl 8 ]2- and the δ bond between metals

    The d orbitals involved in the hybridization of the central Re are dx 2 -y 2 , and the remaining 4 d orbitals are used to form a four-fold bond between Re-Re when the two ReCl 4 units are combined
    .

    The two dz 2 orbitals perpendicular to the plane of the ReCl 4 unit overlap to form a σ bond; the dzy orbitals of two Re overlap side by side to form a π bond; the dxz orbitals of two Re also overlap side by side.


    , Form a π bond; the two dxy orbitals are located in two parallel ReCl 4 unit planes, and the overlap between them is "face to face" .
    The chemical bond formed between the two dxy orbitals between Re-Re is called a delta bond .


    The delta bond is between the x-axis and the y axis.
    The two Re 3+ dxy orbitals overlap to form 4 electron clouds.
    The delta bond is symmetrical to the plane passing through the midpoint of the Re-Re bond axis and perpendicular to the bond axis
    .
