New O- and N-N-Bridging Complexes of Tc(V), the Role of the Nitrogen Atom Position in Aromatic Rings: Reaction Mechanism, Spectroscopy, DTA, XRD and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

In this work, O- and N-N-bridging complexes of technetium (V), previously known only for rhenium, were obtained for the first time. Tc(V) complexes with pyridazine (pyd), 1,2,4-triazole (trz), 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (dmpz) and pyrimidine (pyr) were obtained. In three complexes [{TcOCl₂}₂(μ-O)(μ-pyd)₂], [{TcOCl₂}₂(μ-O)(μ-trz)₂]·Htrz·Cl and [{TcO(dmpz)₄}(μ-O)(TcOCl₄)] two technetium atoms are linked by a Tc-O-Tc bond, and in the first two, Tc atoms are additionally linked by a Tc-N-N-Tc bond through the nitrogen atoms of the aromatic rings. We determined the role of nitrogen atom position in the aromatic ring and the presence of substituents on the formation of such complexes. For the first time, a reaction mechanism for the formation of such complexes was proposed. This article details the crystal structures of four new compounds. The work describes in detail the coordination of Tc atoms in the obtained structures and the regularities of the formation of crystal packings. The spectroscopic properties of the obtained compounds and their mother solutions were studied. The decomposition temperatures of the described complexes were determined. An assumption was made about the oligomerization of three-bridged complexes based on the results of mass spectrometry. Through the analysis of non-valent interactions in the structures, π-stacking, halogen-π and CH-π interactions were found. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surface for [{TcOCl₂}₂(μ-O)(μ-pyd)₂], [{TcOCl2}2(μ-O)(μ-trz)₂] and their rhenium analogues showed that the main contribution to the crystalline packing is made by interactions of the type Hal···H/H···Hal (45.4-48.9%), H···H (10.2-15.8%), and O···H/H···O (9.4-16.5%).

Novel Synthesis Methods of New Imidazole-Containing Coordination Compounds Tc(IV, V, VII)-Reaction Mechanism, Xrd and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

In this work, we have proposed two new methods for the synthesis of [TcO₂L₄]⁺ (where L = imidazole (Im), methylimidazole (MeIm)) complexes using thiourea (Tu) and Sn(II) as the reducing agents. The main and by-products of the reactions were determined, and possible reaction mechanisms were proposed. We have shown that the reduction of Tc(VII) with thiourea is accompanied by the formation of the Tc(III) intermediate and further oxidation to Tc(V). The reaction conditions’ changing can lead to the formation of Tc(VII) and Tc(IV) salts. Seven new crystal structures are described in this work: Tc(V) complexes, salts with Tc(VII) and Tc(IV) anions. For the halide salts of Tu the cell parameters were determined. In all of the obtained compounds, except for [TcO₂(MeIm)₄]TcO₄, there are π–stacking interactions between the aromatic rings. An increase in the anion size lead to weakening of the intermolecular interactions. The halogen bonds and anion-π interactions were also found in the hexahalide-containing compounds. The Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the main contribution to the crystal packing is created by the van der Waals interactions of the H···H type (42.5–55.1%), H···C/C···H (17.7–21.3%) and hydrogen bonds, which contribute 15.7–25.3% in total.
