A density functional investigation of methyltrioxo−rhenium and its lower homologue methyltrioxo−technetium studying the influence of relativistic effects on the reactivity of the two metal centers is presented. In order to quantify the Lewis acidity of the central metal atom, the adduct formation with NH3 as a probe molecule is investigated. Methyltrioxo−rhenium is calculated to form a stable base adduct at a Re−N distance of 2.50 A (exp 2.40−2.50 A). The calculations for the Tc complex (and for the Re complex at a nonrelativistic level of theory) yield longer M−N distances (by 0.1 A) and lower stretching frequencies for the M−N bond in line with the fairly small association energies. From the calculated NH3 adduct formation energies supported by an analysis of the charge distribution, one concludes that Re is a somewhat stronger Lewis acid center than Tc in the MO3 moiety. The polarizability (hardness) of the MO3 fragment is quantified by the HOMO−LUMO splitting as well as by the M−O displacement derivat...
