ABSTRACT. Previous research into development of a gallium-radiolabeled agent that crosses the blood­
brain barrier has met with limited success. In this study, we focused our attention on a Ga(III) complex of
a 4-coordinate amine trithiolate tripod ligand, tris(2-mercaptobenzyl) amine (S3N). The Ga(III) S3N
