Title: Metal-isonitrile adducts for preparing radionuclide complexes for labelling and imaging agents

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5889877

A method is described for preparing a coordination complex of an isonitrile ligand and a radioactive metal selected from the class consisting of radioactive isotopes of Tc, Ru, Co, Pt, Fe, Os, Ir, W, Re, Cr, Mo, Mn, Ni, Rh, Pd, Nb and Ta. The method comprises preparing a soluble metal adduct of the isonitrile ligand by admixing the ligand with a salt of a displaceable metal having a complete d-electron shell selected from the class consisting of Zn, Ga, Cd, In, Sn, Hg, Tl, Pb and Bi to form a soluble metal-isonitrile salt, and admixing the metal isonitrile salt with a salt comprising the radioactive metal in a suitable solvent to displace the displaceable metal with the radioactive metal thereby forming the coordination complex.
