The technetium perovskite CaTcO(3) has been synthesized. Combining synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction, we found that CaTcO(3) is an antiferromagnetic with a surprisingly high Neel temperature of ∼800 K. The transition to the magnetic state does not involve a structural change, but there is obvious magnetostriction. Electronic structure calculations confirm the experimental results.

Technetium tetrachloride has been prepared from the reaction of technetium metal with excess chlorine in sealed Pyrex ampules at elevated temperatures. The product was characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and alternating-current magnetic susceptibility. Solid TcCl(4) behaves as a simple paramagnet from room temperature down to 50 K with μ(eff) = 3.

The structure of the perovskite SrTcO(3) has been investigated using both synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. At room temperature SrTcO(3) is orthorhombic as a consequence of cooperative tilting of the corner sharing TcO(6) octahedra. The tilts are sequentially removed as the sample is heated with the oxide displaying the sequence of structres Pnma→Imma→I4/mcm→Pm ̅3m.

We present evidence for possibly the highest magnetic ordering temperature in any compound without 3d transition elements. Neutron powder diffraction measurements, at both time-of-flight and constant wavelength sources, were performed on two independently prepared SrTcO3 powders. SrTcO3 adopts a distorted perovskite structure with G-type antiferromagnetic ordering and has a moment of 1.
