The tetracyanodioxotechnetate(V) ion undergoes protonation reactions in acidic aqueous solutions, forming the (TcO(OH)(CN){sub 4}){sup 2{minus}} (1) and (TcO(OH{sub 2})(CN){sub 4}){sup {minus}} (2) complexes. A dimeric species, (Tc{sub 2}O{sub 3}(CN){sub 8}){sup 4{minus}} (3), is rapidly formed from the hydroxo oxo complex, and it is therefore impossible to isolate complex 1. The coordinated water of (TcO(H{sub 2}O)(CN){sub 4}){sup {minus}} can be displaced by monodentate ligands such as thiocyanate. The reaction with thiocyanate ions gives (TcO(NCS)(CN){sub 4}){sup 2{minus}} (4), the composition and structure of which was confirmed by means of an X-ray crystal structure determination. 2,2{prime}-Bipyridinium oxothiocyanatotetracyanotechnetate(V) (C{sub 25}H{sub 18}N{sub 9}OSTc) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group. A final R value of 6.4% resulted from refinement of 1868 observed reflections.
