[en] Reaction of oxo-bis(tetrachlorocatecholate) Tc(V) complex [(n-C4H9)4N][TcO(C6Cl4O2)2] (1) with n, N-diphenylhydrazine in Ch2Cl2 yields the binuclear paramagnetic Tc(V)/Tc(VI) mixed-valence complex [(n-C4H9)4N][Tc2(NNPh2)2(C6Cl4O2)4]xCH2Cl2x2CH3OH (2). The structure of the molecular anion of 2 consists of two distorted octahedral Tc centers bridged by two hydrazido (2-) groups bonding s in the η1 mode, an unusual bonding motif for this ligand, having previously described only for cyclopentadienyl-metal species. Complex 2 is also a unique example of a Tc(V)/Tc(VI) mixed-valence species; the Tc-Tc distance of 2.612 (2) angstrom is consistent with direct metal-metal interaction. Crystal data for 1 and 2. 46 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs
