Rhenium and technetium penicillamine complexes have been synthesized by SnCl/sub 2/ reduction of ReO/sub 4//sup -/ or TcO/sub 4//sup -/ in the presence of optically pure or racemic penicillamine. The complexes are characterized by their chromatographic behavior, electronic spectra, fast atom bombardment mass spectra, and variable temperature /sup 1/H NMR spectra. All complexes are six-coordinate in solution, with one tridentate penicillamine, one bidentate penicillamine, and one oxo ligand. The mixed complexes are functional, racemizing by exchange of carboxylates at the sites trans to the oxo ligand. Kinetics of this process were measured by complete line-shape analysis of the NMR spectra, and values for reaction rate constants are reported.
