It was discovered that the reduction of potassiumand ammonium perrhenate with potassium metal in aqueous ethylenediamine yields a complex, water soluble hydride of rhenium and not an uninegative rhenide. Analytical investigations suggest the formula KReH/sub 4/. 2H/sub 2/O. The corresponding barium compound was also prepared. Exploratory experiments on the reduction of Tc/sup 99/- labeled NH/sub 4/ReO/sub 4/ showed that pertechnetate is also reduced to a water soluble compound of a lower oxidation number of technetium, presumably a technohydride. This technohydride, however, is considerably less stable and more sensitive to protons than perrhenate. (auth)
