The reaction of trans-(Tc{sup v}(OH)(O)(DMPE){sub 2}){sup 2+} with excess p-chorobenzenethiol and a small amount of base produces both cis and trans isomers of the air-stable arenethiolato-Tc(II) complex (Tc(SC{sub 6}H{sub 4}-p-Cl){sub 2}(DMPE){sub 2}). The geometries of these complexes are confirmed by x-ray crystallography, and the crystal data are reported. The cis isomer is considerably more stable than the trans; trans {yields} cis isomerization occurs with a half-life of about 74 min in dichloromethane at room temperature. The cis isomer exhibits a reversible Tc(III/II) redox couple at -0.182 V vs Ag/AgCl and a nonreversible Tc(II/I) couple at about -0.99 V vs Ag/AgCl. The remarkable stability of cis-(Tc(SC{sub 6}H{sub 4}-p-Cl){sub 2}(DMPE){sub 2}) in the Tc(II) oxidation state and in the cis geometry is discussed in terms of the electronic and steric properties of the aryl substituent. 33 refs., 4 figs., 6 tabs.
