The mixed-valence technetium(III/IV) bis({mu}-oxo) dimer ((TCTA)Tc({mu}-O){sub 2}Tc(TCTA)){sup 3{minus}} (1; TCTA = 1,4,7-triazayclononane-N,N{prime},N{double prime}-triacetate) has been prepared as its sodium and barium salts. This complex undergoes a reversible on-electron oxidation with potassium persulfate to form ((TCTA)Tc({mu}-O){sub 2}Tc(TCTA)){sup 2{minus}} (2). Both complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV/visible, and resonance Raman spectroscopy, and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. A crystal structure analysis of the Tc(III/IV) dimeter Ba{sub 2}((TCTA)Tc({mu}O){sub 2}Tc(TCTA))(ClO{sub 4}){center dot}9H{sub 2}O (1c) reveals that the two Tc atoms are linked by a planar Tc({mu}-O){sub 2}Tc ring. One TCTA ligand binds to each Tc through an N{sub 3}O donor set, and one of the acetate groups from each ligand bridges the two metal atoms. Resonance Raman spectra of complexes 1 and 2 were obtained by irradiation at 514.5 nm; strong bands assigned to the four-membered Tc({mu}-O){sub 2}Tc ring and the metal-metal multiple bond were seen. The aqueous electrochemistry of the compounds confirms that they are related by a reversible one-electron wave. The Tc(III/IV) dimer 1 represents the first fully characterized Tc-(amino carboxylate) complex in an oxidation state lower than +4. Evidence for the existence of other Tc(III/IV) bis({mu}-oxo) dimers of this type with amino carboxylate ligands such as EDTA and NTA is presented. 23 refs., 3 figs., 4 tabs.
