Rhenium(VII) sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula Re₂S₇. It has a complex structure, but can be synthesized from direct combination of the elements:^[1]

{\ce {2Re{}+7S->[{} \atop \Delta ]Re2S7}}

Alternatively, rhenium(VII) oxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide in 4N HCl to the same end:^[2]

{\ce {Re2O7{}+7H2S->[{} \atop \Delta ]Re2S7{}+7H2O}}

The compound catalyses the reduction of nitric oxide to nitrous oxide and hydrogenation of double bonds. In this regard, it unusually tolerates sulfur compounds, which poison noble metal catalysts.^[1]

Rhenium(VII) sulfide decomposes when heated. In vacuum, it generates rhenium(IV) sulfide:

\mathrm {Re_{2}S_{7}\ {\xrightarrow {600^{o}C}}\ 2ReS_{2}+3S}

In air, the sulfur oxidizes to sulfur dioxide:

\mathrm {2Re_{2}S_{7}+21O_{2}\ {\xrightarrow {\Delta }}\ 2Re_{2}O_{7}+14SO_{2}}
