Chemical compound

Technetium(VII) oxide is the chemical compound with the formula Tc2O7. This yellow volatile solid is a rare example of a molecular binary metal oxide, the other examples being RuO4, OsO4, and the unstable Mn2O7. It adopts a centrosymmetric corner-shared bi-tetrahedral structure in which the terminal and bridging Tc-O bonds are 167pm and 184 pm respectively and the O-Tc-O angle is 180°

Technetium(VII) oxide is prepared by the oxidation of technetium at 450-500 °C:

2 Tc + 3.5 O2 → Tc2O7

It is the anhydride of pertechnic acid and the precursor to sodium pertechnetate:

Tc2O7 + 2 NaOH → 2 NaTcO4 + H2O
