Facile and quantitative dissociation of bis(thiosemicarbazonato)zinc (lI) complexes to give the corresponding neutral proligands in solution has been achieved by reaction with citric acid. This reaction provides an elegant solution to a problem encountered in the design, synthesis and purification of potential copper-based radiopharmaceuticals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
