The chemistry of technetium is being explored at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Our goal is to investigate both the applied and fundamental aspects of technetium chemistry, with a special emphasis on synthesis, separations, and materials science. The synthetic chemistry focuses on metal–metal multiple bonding, oxides and halides. Synthesis and characterizations of (n-Bu
4 N)2 Tc2 X8 , Tc2 (O2 CCH3)4 X2 ( X = Cl, Br), TcO2 , Bi2 Tc2 O7 , Bi3 TcO8 , TcBr3 and TcBr4 have been performed. The applied chemistry is related to the behavior of Tc in the UREX process. Separation of U/Tc has been conducted using anion exchange resin and metallic Tc waste form synthesized and characterized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
