Too hot to handle: Unprecedented affinity and specificity for 99TcO4− in aqueous solution was shown with the p-xylyl azacryptand hexaprotonated form (see scheme). A crystal structure of complex reveals how anion fits within cavity cage, formation multiple H-bond interactions protonated amino groups stabilize adduct.
The fluorescent cage senses pertechnetate in water at μM concentration, opening perspectives to detect the pollutant without radioanalytical instrumentation.
Light-induced bioconjugation and radiolabeling of the cancer-specific monoclonal antibody onartuzumab was accomplished using tricarbonyl chemistry radiotheranostic matched pair nuclides 99m Tc 188 Re.
Bis-arene complexes of technetium represent a fundamental class organometallic compounds. Due to complex synthetic routes, no detailed insights into their properties have been reported so far. Reacting [99TcO4]- with arenes in the exclusive presence AlCl3 gives highly stable [99Tc(arene)2]+ good yields. These extraordinarily high stabilities, where oxidation is found occur at potentials higher than +1.3 V and reduction below -2 vs. Fc/Fc+. The 99mTc analogues are similarly synthesised by...
Cationic dioxorhenium and dioxotechnetium complexes of the composition [MO(2)(L(1))(4)](+) (L(1) = 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) have been prepared from various starting materials studied spectroscopically by X-ray crystallography. The metal-carbon distances range 2.216(4) to 2.232(4) A indicating mainly sigma-bonding.
The first 99 Tc corroles have been synthesized and fully characterized. A single-crystal X-ray structure of a TcO triarylcorrole revealed nearly identical geometry parameters as the corresponding ReO structure. significant spectral shift between Soret maxima (410-413 nm) (438-441 was observed and, based on two-component spin-orbit ZORA TDDFT calculations, ascribed to relativistic effects in Re case. syntheses reported herein potentially pave way toward 99m Tc-porphyrinoid-based radiopharmaceuticals.
Sandwich complexes are important building blocks in medicinal inorganic chemistry for group 6 and 8 elements but almost unknown the manganese triad. We present syntheses full characterization of mixed-arene 99Tc sandwich [99Tc(η6-hmbz)(η6-C6H5-NH3)](PF6)2 [99Tc(η6-hmbz)(η6-C6H5-Br)](PF6).

The labeling of (bio)molecules with metallic radionuclides such as 99m Tc demands conjugated, multidentate chelators. However, this is not always necessary since phenyl rings can directly serve integrated, organometallic ligands. Bis-arene sandwich complexes are generally prepared by the Fischer-Hafner reaction. In extension this, we show that [99m Tc(η6 -C6 R6 )2 ]+ -type accessible from water and TcO4 ]- , even using arenes incompatible conditions. To unambiguously confirm nature these...
