ReO2 is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Re(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ReO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 38-50°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Re(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(1) atoms.

Re(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(1) and three equivalent O(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ReO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 38-50°. There are a spread of Re(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 1.96-2.02 Å. There are a spread of Re(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.04-2.06 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Re(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re(1) atoms.
