Abstract

Functionalization of perfluoro aryl azides by bifunctional chelating agents (BFCAs) capable of forming high specific activity complexes with 99mTc (for γ-imaging) and 188Re (for radiotherapy) is described. The synthesis of multidonor BFCAs containing N2S2, N4, and N3S donor groups containing imidazole, pyridine, and pyrazine functionalities that may be important for tuning the pharmacokinetic parameters is also described. Functionalization ...
