Title: Complexes of technetium(V) with potentially tridentate schiff bases derived from s-methyldithiocarbazate

Journal Article · · J. Coord. Chem.; (United States)

The syntheses and characterization of several new neutral oxotechnetium(V) complexes with potentially dianionic tridentate Schiff bases, derived from S-methyldithiocarbazate, are described. For a 1:1 metal ion to ligand ratio the five-coordinate complexes TcOLCl were isolated in all cases. Only in one case could a six-coordinate TcOL/sub 2/Cl, with the ligand acting as a bidentate chelate, be isolated from a 1:2 metal ion to ligand ratio. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complex TcO(HAF)Cl surprisingly indicate paramagnetism with a d/sup 2/ electronic configuration, while all the other compounds were found to be diamagnetic. The relative strength of the Tc=O bond is mainly determined by the electronic influence of the cis-ligands. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, infrared and electronic spectra, and conductance measurements.
