The crystal structure of [AS(C6H5)(4)] [TcNCl4] was determined at 120
K by X-ray diffraction and at 28 K by neutron diffraction. The crystal
s are tetragonal, space group P4/n, with a 1260 . 4(3) and c 773 . 2(2
) pm at 120 K. The [TcNCl4](-) anion possesses exact C-4 upsilon symme
try, with Tc=N distances of 160 . 3(2) and 162 . 5(4) pm at 120 and 28
K respectively. Magnetic susceptibilities were measured on single cry
stals from 300 to 4 . 5 K. The results indicate a well behaved S 1/2 s
ystem following the Curie-Weiss law with theta -0 . 13 K.
