Main Results:

ReO3 nanoparticles (8.5-32.5 nm) with cubic structure (Pm3m) were synthesized.
Lattice parameter increased, and a blue-shifted plasmon band (around 520 nm) was observed with decreasing size.
Metallicity was confirmed, and size-dependent paramagnetic/diamagnetic behavior, including low-temperature superparamagnetism, was observed.

Conclusions:

ReO3 nanoparticle properties are strongly dependent on size.
The findings provide insights into the synthesis and characterization of metallic oxide nanoparticles for advanced applications.
