Abstract Neutron-deficient osmium and rhenium isotopes were produced by bombarding an enriched144Sm target with beams of27Al and28Si. Previously reported decay data concerning168,169,170Os were confirmed. Three newα groups, observed in the144Sm+27Al reaction, were assigned to the decay of166,167,168Re based on excitation functions,α-energy systematics and theoretical half-life predictions. Their decay properties are: $$\begin{gathered} {}^{166}\operatorname{Re} , E_\alpha = 5,372 (10) keV, T_{1/2} = 2.8 (3) s; \hfill \\ {}^{167}\operatorname{Re} , E_\alpha = 5,136 (8) keV, T_{1/2} = 6.1 (2) s and \hfill \\ {}^{168}\operatorname{Re} , E_\alpha = 4,894 (10) keV, T_{1/2} = 6.9 (8) s. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ It is proposed that twoα groups, observed in the144Sm+28Si reaction, originate from isomeric states in168,169Re. Our measured data for the isomeric states are: $$\begin{gathered} {}^{168m}\operatorname{Re} , E_\alpha = 5,250 (10) keV, T_{1/2} = 6.6 (15) s and \hfill \\ {}^{169m}\operatorname{Re} , E_\alpha = 5,050 (10) keV, T_{1/2} = 12.9 (11) s. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$
