Js. Lewis et al., COPPER(I) BIS(DIPHOSPHINE) COMPLEXES AS A BASIS FOR RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS FOR POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY AND TARGETED RADIOTHERAPY, Chemical communications, (10), 1996, pp. 1093-1094
Copper(I) bis(diphosphine) complexes provide an excellent basis for de
velopment of short/medium-lived PET (positron emission tomography) ima
ging and therapy agents containing copper radioisotopes, because of th
eir extreme facility of synthesis and scope for derivatisation and bio
conjugate formation.
