Hydrothermal synthesis and solid-state structures of polynuclear technetium iodide compounds

Two new technetium iodide compounds, Tc2(O2CCH3)4I and KTc8I13, were synthesized in an autoclave from the reaction of KTcO4 in glacial acetic acid with hydroiodic acid and/or alkali metal iodide salts at 210 °C under 60-70 atm hydrogen. The structures of Tc2(O2CCH3)4I and KTc8I13 were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.55
