The process of complex formation of Oxo penta Bromo Rhenate (V) ions and 2-mercapto pyridine was investigated potentiometrically by evaluating the formation equilibrium stability constants of the metal complex [ReOLNBr5-N]-N+2 at temperature range of 273-338K. These formation constants are used to derive the proportions of the various complex forms as a function of equilibrium ligand concentration. It was identified that for the temperature range of 273-328K there are 5 complex forms and at 338k, there are only 4 complex forms. Thermodynamic values for these complex forms were determined from the formation constants.
