Thermal Analysis of Benzotriazolium Perrhenate and Its Implication to Rhenium Metal.

ABSTRACT: The thermal analysis behavior of C₆H₆N₃[ReO₄] was studied by simultaneous thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) up to 700 °C under argon. Such analysis afforded rhenium metal, which was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. XRD peak broadening due to crystallite size and lattice strain was analyzed by both Williamson-Hall (W-H) and Debye-Scherrer (D-S) methods. Efforts to isolate Re metal from the thermal treatment of benzotriazole (BTA = C₆H₅N₃) with NH₄ReO₄ and Re₂O₇ under various atmospheres and temperatures are also reported. The re
