Abstract
As may be expected the chemistry of technetium often shows close similarity to that of rhenium, but differences have been found in their chlorides. The action of chlorine on rhenium metal gives rhenium pentachloride, which may be readily decomposed to the trichloride by heating it in a stream of nitrogen1. Rhenium tetrachloride is unknown. For technetium only the tetrachloride has previously been reported; it was made by the action of carbon tetrachloride on the heptoxide in a bomb2.
