The title compound, chlorobis[1,2-ethanediylbis(diphenylphosphine)-P,P'](th
iocarbonyl-C)technetium benzene solvate, [TcCl(C46H42P4)(CS)] . C6H6, was o
btained as one of two Tc-containing products isolated from the reaction bet
ween CS2 and the electron-dfircient complex [TcCl\-th>(dppe)(2)], where dpp
e is 1,2-ethanediylbis(diphenylphosphine). The structure exhibits an unusua
lly short Tc-C distance [1.819 (6) Angstrom], suggesting some multiple-bond
character.
