OSTI ID:6952904

The reaction between Tc(VII) and hydrazine at high temperatures and high concentrations of N/sub 2/H/sub 5/ proceeds with the formation of Tc/sub 2/Cl/sup 2 -//sub 6/ cluster. The reaction rate is given by the equation -d(Tc(VII)/dt=k(Tc(VII) N/sub 2/H/sub 5/) /SUP 0.85/ (H/sup +/) /SUP 1.4/ , where k=0.114 equal to 0.008 liter /SUP 2.25/mole/ >2.25. min at 80/sup 0/C with an ionic strength of 2.1. The activation energy E = 21.8 + or - 1.2 kJ/mole, the entropy ..delta..S = -73 + or - 3 J/mole K. The reaction is limited by the slow stages of interaction of the N/sub 2/H/sup +//sub 5/ ions with TcO/sub 4/ and TcO/sup +//sub 3/ ions.
