Abstract
The crystal structure of the diamagnetic tris(cyclopentadienyl)technetium(III) (1) has been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with cell parameters a 1147.7(1), b 904.2(2), and c 1147.2(4) ppm; ϱcalc 1.636 Mg/m3 for Z 4. Two rings are π-bonded and the third one is σ-bonded. The charge distribution in the molecule and the effective electric charge of the σ-bonded carbon atom are discussed in comparison to the homologous compounds of vanadium and rhenium.
