Two general routes for the preparation of technetium complexes with aromatic amine, chloride, and alkoxide ligands are presented. The reactions of the tetrachlorooxotechnetate(V) anion of (n-Bu{sub 4}N)(TcOCl{sub 4}) with pyridine in tetrahydrofuran/alcohol solvent or of the dioxotetrakis(pyridine)technetium(V) cation of (TcO{sub 2}(py){sub 4})Cl with LiCl in sulfuric acid/alcohol both yield a neutral alkoxydichlorooxobis(pyridine)technetium(V) complex. The same isomer appears to result from either route. The analogous thiazole derivatives may be prepared in a like manner. The complex chloro(1,2-ethanediolato)oxo(1,10-phenanthroline)technetium(V), TcOCl(C{sub 2}H{sub 4}O{sub 2})(C{sub 12}H{sub 8}N{sub 2}), is prepared from (n-Bu{sub 4}N)(TcOCl{sub 4}) with 1,2-ethanediol and 1,10-phenanthroline in methanol. This complex was characterized by ir, uv/vis, and {sup 1}H and {sup 99}Tc NMR spectroscopies and by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Further insight into the bonding in this complex comes from the single-crystal x-ray structure determination. The space group is monoclinic, P2{sub 1}/c, with a = 7.440 (2) {angstrom}, b = 8.928 (3) {angstrom}, c = 21.355 (4) {angstrom}, {beta} = 92.48 (2){degree}, V = 1417.2 (7) {angstrom}{sup 3}, and Z = 4. The structure was solved by standard methods and refined to R = 0.051 and R{sub w} = 0.036 based on 1859 reflections. The oxo and chloride ligands are mutually cis in the highly distorted octahedral coordination sphere. The unusually long Tc-Cl bond length (2.418 (2) {angstrom}) is attributed to a trans influence exerted by the coordinated diolate. This effect combined with short lengths for the C-C bond (1.491 (1) {angstrom}) and for the O-Tc-O linkage (1.924 (4), 1.902 (3) {angstrom}) suggests partial multiple bonding between the technetium and the diolate. 38 references, 2 figures, 3 tables.
