Hexacarbonyltechnetium(I) perchlorate
Abstract
The title compound, [Tc(CO)6]ClO4, was synthesized by the reaction of [TcCl(CO)5] with AgClO4, followed by acidification with HClO4 under a CO atmosphere. The [Tc(CO)6]+ cation has close to idealized octahedral geometry, with the bond angles between cis-CO groups close to 90° and the Tc—C bond lengths in the range 2.025 (3)–2.029 (3)Å. The perchlorate anion is disordered over two crystallographically equivalent half-occupied positions. The Tc atom in the [Tc(CO)6]+ cation is located on an inversion centre.
