Nanostructured rhenium oxides, which belong to the technically important group 7 transition metal oxides, have been inaccessible until now due to the lack of appropriate precursors and reaction templates. Using methyltrioxorhenium as the organometallic rhenium precursor and long‐chain alkylamines as supramolecular templates, these authors have synthesized nanostructured rhenium dioxide for the first time. The products are nanocomposites that are composed of rhenium dioxide and the organic structure‐directing agent used in the preparation.
