Abstract
RHENIUM TRIOXIDE, ReO3, has been thought to be a chemically stable compound in air at room temperature1. The electron diffraction and microscopy measurements reported here reveal, however, that the crystal easily absorbs hydrogen and that this is closely related to its hygroscopic nature. The crystal structure of a new phase, HxReO3 (x<0.1), is estimated from the calculation of the potential field.
