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] Alternatively, rhenium(VII) oxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide in 4N HCl to the same end:[2]
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:
In air, the sulfide oxidizes to sulfur dioxide:

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
