The heavy use of99mTc in nuclear medicine and the recent development of188Re radiopharmaceuticals have encouraged the comparative study of Tc and Re coordination compounds. In this work, the electrochemistry of [MVO2 (amine)2]+ (M=Tc, Re; amine = ethylenediamine, 1,3-diaminopropane, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine) complexes is studied by cyclic voltammetry and the results are compared. The voltammograms of these compounds, obtained at different pH values, show that [ReO2(amine)2]+ cations are thermodynamically stable even when protonated. On the other hand, analogous Tc compounds are not so stable and easily decompose if existing as [TcO(OH) (amine)2]2+.
