Dipotassium pentachloridooxidotechnetate, K 2 [TcOCl 5 ], has been isolated as green single crystals by the dissolution of (NH 4 )TcO 4 in 12 M HCl at 0 °C and careful precipitation with KCl. The structure of this compound was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis [ a = 13.0815(9), b = 9.8982(6), c = 6.7623(4) Å; V = 875.605 Å 3 , orthorhombic, Pnma , Z = 4] and compared with the corresponding molybdenum and rhenium analogues. The structure of K 2 [TcOCl 5 ] was also investigated by density functional theory, and the results are in agreement with the crystallographic data. The oscillator strengths of the electronic transitions in the C 4 v complex anions [TcOCl 5 ] 2– and [TcOCl 4 ] – were also calculated by using time‐dependent density functional theory and compared with the experimental UV/Vis spectra.
