Three different thiols have been brought into reaction with trans-(Tc(OH)(O)(DIARS){sub 2}){sup 2+} to produce initially the Tc(II) complex, (Tc(SR){sub 2}(DIARS){sub 2}){sup 0}, which can be oxidized to the Tc(III) complex, (Tc(SR){sub 2}(DIARS){sub 2}){sup +} (DIARS = o-phenylenebis(dimethylarsine)). In the case of SR = SCH{sub 3} and SCH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 5}, the Tc(II) and Tc(III) products were found to be in the trans geometry, while for SR = SC{sub 6}H{sub 5}, both cis and trans isomers were generated. Two of the complexes were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. trans-(Tc(SCH{sub 3}){sub 2}(DIARS){sub 2})PF{sub 6}, chemical formula TcAs{sub 4}S{sub 2}PF{sub 6}C{sub 22}H{sub 38}, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group. The Tc atom occupies an inversion center. Representative elemental analyses, FAB mass spectra, and visible-UV spectra are reported. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical measurements were taken on trans-(Tc(SCH{sub 3}){sub 2}(DIARS){sub 2}){sup +}, trans-(Tc(SCH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 5}){sub 2}(DIARS){sub 2}){sup +}, and cis-(Tc(SC{sub 6}H{sub 5}){sub 2}(DIARS){sub 2}){sup +}, which exhibit a reversible Tc(III/II) redox couple in the range {minus}0.32 to {minus}0.47 V vs. Ag/AgCl. Another redox couple is present in the range {minus}1.22 to {minus}1.70 V; this is ascribed to Tc(II/I) and is reversible only for SR = SCH{sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 5} at 20C. At room temperature, chemically irreversible couples are exhibited at ca. +1.0 V for Tc(IV/III).
