Abstract

The d5-'low-spin' Tc(II) complexes tribromonitrosyl-bis(dimethylphenylphosphine)technetium(II) and tribromo-thionitrosyl-bis(dimethylphenylphosphine)technetium(II) were prepared by ligand exchange starting from the analogous chloro compounds. The complexes were characterized chemically and IR, UVVis and EPR spectroscopically. In the room temperature EPR spectra a well-resolved 99Tc hyperfine splitting is observed inidicating a ground state of the unpaired electron which is well separated from the other orbit states. The general features of the spectra at low temperatures are characteristic for an axially symmetric spin Hamiltonian. Analysis of the 99Tc and 31P hfs (hfs = hyperfine splittings) shows a marked covalency of the Tcligand bonds. A comparison is given between the chloro and bromo, as well as between the nitrosyl and thionitrosyl complexes.
