Three hydroxypyridinone (HOPO) positional isomers - 1,2-HOPO ((LH)-H-1) and its water soluble analogue ((LH)-H-1'), 3,2-HOPO ((LH)-H-2) and 3,4-HOPO ((LH)-H-3) have been investigated for the complexation of Zr(IV). Potentiometric and UV-Vis spectrometric studies show a higher thermodynamic stability for the formation of Zr(L-1')(4) in comparison with Zr(L-2)(4) and Zr(L-3)(4) as well as a higher kinetic inertness in competition studies with EDTA or Fe3+ at a radiotracer concentration with Zr-89. Besides the low pK(a) of H-L1 or (LH)-H-1' (pK(a) = 5.01) in comparison with (LH)-H-2 and (LH)-H-3 (pK(a) = 8.83 and 9.55, respectively), the higher stability of Zr(L-1')(4) can be attributed in part to the presence of the amide group next to the chelating oxygen that induces intramolecular H-bond and amide/pi interactions that were observed by X-ray crystallography and confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. The data presented here indicate that the 1,2-HOPO L-1' exhibits the best characteristics for Zr(IV) complexation. However, 3,2-HOPO and 3,4-HOPO patterns, if appropriately tuned, for instance with the addition of an amide group as in the 1,2-HOPO ligand, may also become interesting alternatives for the design of Zr(IV) chelators with improved characteristics for applications in nuclear imaging with Zr-89.
