Abstract:
[Tc(OH2)(CO)3(PPh3)2](BF4) has been used as a synthon for reactions with small inorganic ligands with relevance for the treatment of nuclear waste solutions such as nitrate, nitrite, pseudohalides, permetalates (M = Mn, Tc, Re), and BH4-. The formation of bond isomers and/or a distinct reactivity has been observed for most of the products. [Tc(NCO)(CO)3(PPh3)2], [Tc(NCS)(CO)3(PPh3)2], [Tc(CN)(CO)3(PPh3)2], [Tc(N3)(CO)3(PPh3)2], [Tc(NCO)(OH2)(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-OON)(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η1-NO2)(CO)3(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-OONO)(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η1-ONO2)(CO)3(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-OO(CCH3))(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-SSC(SCH3))(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-SSC(OCH3))(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-SSC(CH3))(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(η2-SS(CH))(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(OTcO3)(acetone)(CO)2(PPh3)2], [Tc(OTcO3)(CO)3(PPh3)2], and [Tc(η2-HHBH2)(CO)2(PPh3)2] have been isolated in crystalline form and studied by X-ray crystallography. Additionally, the typical reactivity patterns (isomerization, thermal decomposition, hydrolysis, or decarbonylation) of the products have been studied by spectroscopic methods. 99Tc NMR spectroscopy has proved to be a particularly useful tool for the evaluation of such reactions of the diamagnetic technetium(I) compounds in solution.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
