Tris(acetylacetonato)technetium(III), /sup 99/Tc(acac)/sup 3/ undergoes ligand exchange in acetylacetone (Hacac) at 125-141/degrees/C. The rate observed by the /sup 14/C-labeling method is expressed by rate = k/sub 1/(complex) at (complex) = 0.003-0.007 M, (Hacac) = 9.7 M, and (H/sub 2/O) = 0.04-0.1 M; k/sub 1/ = 2.1 /plus minus/ 0.1 x 10/sup -4/ s/sup -1/ at 141/degrees/C. No water catalysis was observed. ..delta..H/double dagger/ and ..delta..S/double dagger/ are 119 /plus minus/ 7 kJ mol/sup -1/ and -27 /plus minus/ 18 J K/sup -1/ mol/sup -1/, respectively. The dilution with acetonitrile reduced the rate linearly with (Hacac). The deuterium isotope effect k/sub 1/(H)/k/sub -1/ (D) was modest (2.3 /plus minus/ 0.3). The I/sub a/ mechanism is assigned to the rate-determining formation of the intermediate containing a one-ended acac/sup -/ and a unidentate Hacac. The lability and the mechanism are regarded as reflecting straightforwardly the kinetic nature of Tc/sup III/ on the basis of the previously reported linear free energy relationship between the present exchange system and the ligand-substitution processes of aqua complexes for various tervalent metal ions. The lability of Tc/sup III/ with the low-spin d/sup 4/ configuration was found to be very close to that of Cr/sup III/, much lower than that of Mo/sup III/, and slightly higher than that of Ru/sup III/ and Rh/sup III/; Mo/sup III/>> Tc/sup III/ > Ru/sup III/ > Rh/sup III/. The mechanism is consistent with that previously proposed for M/sup III/(acac)/sub 3/ complexes, on the basis of an estimated ionic radius of Tc/sup III/. 24 references, 2 figures, 2 tables.
