Heavy Metal Chemistry Goes Nuclear: Radioactive Rhenium and Terbium Agents

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to make fundamental advances in the basic knowledge of the bioinorganic chemistry of radioactive metals that have the potential to be used in the future as radioactive drugs. Technological advances in the production of radioactive isotopes of rhenium and terbium have increased the feasibility of using these radionuclides as radioactive drugs, but their use requires new basic knowledge in their fundamental coordination chemistry. This project will develop new ways to synthesise radioactive rhenium and terbium complexes. The outcomes of this project will be an improved understanding of the coordination chemistry rhenium and terbium which is required to inform their future translation to new radiopharmaceuticals.
