Crystal structure and basic properties of dirhenate quantum materials

The anhydrous divalent 3d-metal dirhenate quantum materials, M(ReO$_4$)$_2$,were synthesized using solid-state methods for M = Mn through Zn. Previously unreported Mg(ReO4)2 is also described. Their layered crystal structures, which feature an in-plane triangular lattice of M$^{2...
