Two classes of low valent technetium complexes containing polypyridyl ligands have been prepared and characterized by spectrophotometric, mass spectroscopic, electrochemical and single crystal x-ray structure techniques. The first class, of the general form cis(X),trans(P)-(Tc/sup III/II/X/sub 2/ (PR/sub 2/R')L)/sup +/0/ (X = Cl or Br, L = 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline or 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), can be prepared in either the Tc(III) or Tc(II) form. The second class, of the general form trans (P)-TcX(PR/sub 2/R')terpy/sup +/, can be prepared only in the Tc(II) form. A series of Tc(V) complexes containing 8-quinolinolate ligands has been synthesized and characterized. The complexes are of the general form TcO(L)/sub 2/X, where L is a bidentate 8-quinolinolate ligand and X is Cl or Br. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-visible and IR spectroscopy and by single crystal x-ray structural analysis of TcO (oxMe)Cl (oxMe = 2-methyl-8-quinolinolate). Single crystal x-ray structural analysis of a new complex chlorobis(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothialoato)-oxotechnetium(V), TcO(hbt)/sub 2/Cl, is presented. This complex results from the oxidative intramolecular ring closure reaction of a tridentate O,N,S Schiff base molecule N-(2-mercaptophenyl)salicylideneimine to form the bidentate 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole moiety.
