Abstract

Technetium tetrachloride has been prepared from the reaction of technetium metal with excess chlorine in sealed Pyrex ampules at elevated temperatures. The product was characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and alternating-current magnetic susceptibility. Solid TcCl(4) behaves as a simple paramagnet from room temperature down to 50 K with μ(eff) = 3.76 μ(B). Below 25 K, TcCl(4) exhibits an antiferromagnetic transition with a Néel temperature (T(N)) of ∼24 K. The thermal behavior of TcCl(4) was investigated under vacuum at 450 °C; the compound decomposes stepwise to α-TcCl(3) and TcCl(2).
