Reactions of (NBu4)[TcOCl4] or [TcCl3(PPh3)2(CH3CN)] with in situ-prepared lithium arylselenolates and -tellurolates give (NBu4)[TcVO(ArE)4] (E = Se, Te; Ar = phenyl) and [TcIII(ArE)3(PPh3)(CH3CN)] (E = Se, Te; Ar = phenyl, 2,6-Me2phenyl, mesityl) complexes, respectively. The products contain square-pyramidal (TcV compounds) and trigonal bipyramidal (TcIII complexes) coordinated technetium atoms. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the Tc-chalcogen bonds in the TcIII compounds have a greater bond order than those in the TcV compounds.
