Abstract:
Technetium-99 tetracarbonyl β-diketonates [99Tc(dik)(CO)4] (dik = 2,4-pentanedionate (acetylacetonate, acac), 1-phenyl-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butanedionate (benzoyltrifluoroacetonate, btfa), and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionate (hexafluoroacetylacetonate, hfa)) were prepared by the reaction of [99TcBr(CO)5] in CCl4 with potassium salts of the corresponding β-diketones. [99Tc(dik)(CO)4] reacts with imidazole and pyridine to form the corresponding tricarbonyl species [99Tc(dik)(CO)3(Imd)] and [99Tc(dik)(CO)3(Py)]. The reaction of [99Tc(dik)(CO)4] with triphenylphosphine initially yields the monophosphine complexes [99Tc(dik)(CO)3(PPh3)], which readily transform into the bisphosphine dicarbonyl complexes [99Tc(dik)(CO)2(PPh3)2]. The complexes obtained were characterized by IR and 1H, 19F, 31P, 99Tc NMR spectroscopy and, in most cases, by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The composition-property relationships and the mutual influence of ligands in technetium carbonyl β-diketonate complexes are discussed.

02:46Crystal 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,...

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...
