Technetium Dichloride: A New Binary Halide Containing Metal-Metal Multiple Bonds

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Chemical Society
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/ja201788m· OSTI ID:1027660
Technetium dichloride has been discovered. It was synthesized from the elements and characterized by several physical techniques, including single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the solid state, technetium dichloride exhibits a new structure type consisting of infinite chains of face sharing [Tc{sub 2}Cl{sub 8}] rectangular prisms that are packed in a commensurate supercell. The metal-metal separation in the prisms is 2.127(2) {angstrom}, a distance consistent with the presence of a Tc {triple_bond} Tc triple bond that is also supported by electronic structure calculations.
