Photophysical properties of the trans-dioxotechnetium(V) chromophore are reported for the first time. The complexes [TcO₂(L)₄] ⁺ (L=pyridine or 4-picoline) and [TcO₂(CN)₄]³ ⁻ are luminescent from a ³Eg excited state in the near IR with emission maxima ranging from 715-750 nm. DFT calculations predicted the observed red-shift in emission energy relative to trans-dioxorhenium(V) congeners. Distinct vibronic progressions are observed in the symmetric O=Tc=O and Tc-L stretching frequencies in the 8 K emission spectra and excited state lifetimes mirrored trends of the analogous Re(V) complexes.
