Synthesis and X-ray structural characterisation of seven co-ordinate macrocyclic In3+complexes with relevance to radiopharmaceutical applications

Abstract

With a view to radiopharmaceutical aplication, four In³⁺ complexes of mono- and bi-functional carboxymethylated tetra-azamacrocyclic ligands were prepared, the structures of two of them were solved by X-ray diffraction and their stability was determined by measuring the exchange to transferrin in blood serum.
