This review addresses the dearth of knowledge about the interaction of rhenium species with organic solvents during the liquid–liquid extraction of rhenium. To describe such interactions, the aqueous chemistry of rhenium in unlike media, the extraction mechanism and the salient role of thermodynamic properties are also discussed. Formation of a rhenium‐complexed species inorganic phase and competition between the extracted species during extraction is described by inner and outer sphere coordination. Emergence of a stabilized complex in a hydrophobic environment is greatly affected by the interaction of electrostatic and/or H‐bonding. The chemistry of liquid–liquid extraction of rhenium that can further assist future studies in this area is also relevant to other metal ion systems. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry
