In this paper the results of the first study on the Compton profile of polycrystalline rhenium are reported. The measurements have been made using 59.54keV γ‐rays. To interpret the data, the renormalized‐free‐atom (RFA) model has been employed taking several 5d–6sconfigurations. Best agreement between theory and experiment is found for 5d 6 6s 1 valence electron configuration. The data show surprisingly good agreement with the relativistic APW Compton profile of the isoelectronic metal technetium. This confirms similar electronic structures for rhenium and technetium metals.
