|  |  | RHENIUM(III) CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | Dark-red solid, on heating emits green
vapor from which the metal may be deposited, non-
electrolyte in solution, soluble in water and glacial
acetic acid. |  | Uses | It is used as a starting material for synthesis of rhenium complexes. ReCl3?can react with peralkylated benzene-metal complexes that act as electron reservoirs. |  | Safety Profile | Poison by intraperitoneal route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also RHENIUM and CHLORIDES. |
