Synthesis

It can be synthesized by the reaction of pertechnetic acid and ammonium nitrate:

HTcO4 + NH4NO3 → NH4TcO4 + HNO3

It thermally decomposes under inert atmosphere at 700 °C to technetium dioxide:

NH4TcO4 → TcO2 + 2 H2O + 1/2 N2

Chemical properties

Passing hydrogen sulfide through acidic solutions of ammomium pertechnetate produces Technetium(VII) sulfide:[2][3][4]

2NH4TcO4 + 7H2S + 2HCl → Tc2S7↓ + 2NH4Cl + 8H2O
