Scandium, yttrium, the lanthanides

Abstract

This chapter reviews the literature reported during 2010 on scandium, yttrium and the lanthanide elements. HighlightsAmong much excellent chemistry, highlights include compounds with unsupported lanthanide-transition metal bonds, novel scandium and yttrium dinitrogen complexes, and volatile dimethylaminodiboranates with very high coordination numbers.

Mixed-ligand complexes of yttrium-90 dialkyldithiocarbamates with 1,10-phenanthroline as a possible agent for therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma

“…Several radiopharmaceutical complexes have been described with dithiocarbamates, with indium-113m (Abram et al, 1985), copper-62 (Matsumoto et al, 1990), bismuth-212 (Parks et al, 1992), technetium-99m (Pasqualini et al, 1994), and rhenium-188 (Boschi et al, 2004). Moreover, rare earth complexes with dithiocarbamates have been the subject of an abundant literature and their structures have been extensively discussed (Nief, 1998;Cotton, 2004;Hitchcock et al, 2004;Regulacio et al, 2005). Reaction of yttrium and lanthanides with dithiocarbamates can result in ternary neutral complexes or quaternary anionic complexes.…”
