metal-organic compounds
The molecular structures of the two mononuclear title complexes, namely (4-methoxybenzenethiolato-κS)oxido[2,2′-(3-phenylpropylimino)bis(ethanethiolato)-κ3S,N,S′]technetium(V), [Tc(C14H21NS2)(C7H7OS)O], (I), and (4-methoxybenzenethiolato-κS)oxido[2,2′-(propylimino)bis(ethanethiolato)-κ3S,N,S′]technetium(V), [Tc(C7H15NS2)(C7H7OS)O], (II), exhibit the same coordination environment for the central Tc atoms. The atoms are five-coordinated (TcNOS3) with a square-pyramidal geometry comprising a tridentate 2,2′-(3-phenylpropylimino)bis(ethanethiolate) or 2,2′-(propylimino)bis(ethanethiolate) ligand, a 4-methoxybenzenethiolate ligand and an additional oxide O atom. Intermolecular C—HO and C—HS hydrogen bonds between the monomeric units result in two-dimensional layers with a parallel arrangement.
