Influence of precipitation conditions on the composition and structure of ferroin pertechnetate complexes

The conditions of pertechnetate ion precipitation with ferroin nitrate in nitric acid solutions were determined. The effect of precipitation condition on the composition and structure of ferroin pertechnetate complexes was analyzed. At aging of the precipitate in the mother liquor the formation of nitrosyl group in the complex was found, which is confirmed by appearance in the IR spectrum of the band at 1700 cm −1 belonging to the coordinated nitrosyl group. Analysis of the IR spectra of ferroin perrhenate and pertechnetate complexes showed that coordinated nitrosyl group is formed only in the presence of technetium in the complex structure.
