Rhenium alkoxides

Abstract

The data on synthesis of individual and heterometallic alkoxide and oxoalkoxide derivatives of rhenium are summarized. Their structures are considered, characteristic features and peculiarities of the structures are analyzed. Data on the thermal decomposition of rhenium alkoxides and its application for the preparation of rhenium-based metallic and oxide materials are given. © 2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
