The first structurally characterized technetium(III) complexes containing trimethylphosphine as a ligand are reported. A novel cationic technetium(III) phosphine hydride complex was prepared by reaction of (Tc(S-tu){sub 6})(PF{sub 6}){sub 3} (tu = {eta}{sup 1}-S{double bond}C(NH{sub 2}){sub 2}) with excess trimethylphosphine in methanol. The complex, (TcH({eta}{sup 2}-N,S-NHC(NH{sub 2})S)(PMe{sub 3}){sub 4})(PF{sub 6}) (1) was characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically, and shown to contain the unusual bidentate ligand ({eta}{sup 2}-N,S-NHC(NH{sub 2})S){sup {minus}} and a hydride ligand. Stirring 1 in methanol-d{sub 4} led to formation of a spectroscopically identified technetium(III) deuteride. (TcD({eta}{sup 2}-N,S-NDC(ND{sub 2})S)(PMe{sub 3}){sub 4})(PF{sub 6}). Crystallographic data for 1 are as follows: monoclinic, Cc, a = 9.305 (2) {angstrom}, b = 16.726 (2) {angstrom}, c = 19.951 (3) {angstrom}, {beta} = 91.24{degree}, V = 3,104.4 {angstrom}{sup 3}, Z = 4, R = 0.062 (R{sub 2} = 0.060) for 2,043 observed reflections having F{sub o} > 3{sigma}(F{sub o}). Reaction of a Tc(V) substrate, (NBu{sub 4})(TcOCl{sub 4}), with excess trimethylphosphine yielded mer-TcCl{sub 3}(PMe{sub 3}){sub 3} (2). Crystals of 2 suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by cocrystallizing 2 with triphenyl isocyanurate, ((phNCO){sub 3}). The resulting material, (mer-TcCl{sub 3}(PMe{sub 3}){sub 3})((PhNCO){sub 3}), crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pnma in a unit cell of dimensions a = 18.461 (1) {angstrom}, b = 13.934 (2) {angstrom}, c = 14.035 (1) {angstrom}, V = 3,610.3 {angstrom}{sup 3}, and Z = 4, with R = 0.044 (R{sub w} = 0.039) for 3,699 observed reflections having F{sub o}> 3{sigma}(F{sub o}). The closest intermolecular distances revealed no bonding between the two components in the crystal, 2 and ((PhNCO){sub 3}).
