Imidazole-Based [2 + 1] Re(I)/99mTc(I) Complexes as Isostructural Nuclear and Optical Probes
Abstract
The synthesis, stability, and photophysical properties of [2 + 1] Re(I)/Tc(I) complexes derived from bipyridine and a series of imidazole derivatives were investigated as a means of identifying complexes suitable for creating targeted isostructural optical/nuclear molecular imaging probes. To prepare the desired complexes, [Re(CO)3(H2O)3]Br was combined with 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) to give [Re(CO)3(bipy)Br], which in turn was converted to the …
