Part one. Structure-distribution relationships derived from rhenium structural models for [sup 99m]Tc and [sup 186/188]Re substrates of the renal anion transport system. [MO(MAG[sub 3])][sup 2[minus]] complexes (MAG[sub 3] = penta-anionic form of mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG[sub 3]H[sub 5]), M = [sup 99m]Tc, [sub 186,188]Re) have important applications in nuclear medicine but their renal clearance is not ideal. It is essential to determine the properties associated with efficient renal transport. The [MO(MAG[sub 3])][sup 2[minus]] complexes are dianionic with one charge associated with the metal and the second associated with a terminal CO[sub 2][sup [minus]]. Isomers of mercaptoacetylglyclyclaminobenzoic acid were synthesized to determine the effects of varying the position of the CO[sub 2][sup [minus]] on renal clearance. The CO[sub 2][sup [minus]] of MAG[sub 3]H[sub 5] was also replaced with SO[sub 3][sup [minus]] and PO[sub 3][sup 2[minus]] groups. The biological properties of [sup 99m]Tc complexes with the new ligands were determined and Re analogues were prepared as structural models. The results, along with preliminary molecular mechanics calculations, suggest that the oxo-carboxylate conformation, the oxo-carboxylate intramolecular distance, and steric interactions influence renal clearance. Part two. Re(V) oxo complexes with trimethylbenzimidazole, pyridine and lutidine ligands. The synthesis and characterization of Re[sub 2]OCl[sub 4] (Me[sub 3]Bzm)[sub 4] (26) (Me[sub 3] Bzm = 1,5,6--trimethylbenzimidazole) was investigated because (1) the structures and voltametry of [mu]-oxo-[Re[sub 2]O[sub 3]][sup 4+] complexes have been of recent interest; (2) Re can significantly affect the [sup 13]C NMR chemical shifts of coordinated ligands; and (3) Me[sub 3]Bzm is an important ligand in bioinorganic model complexes.
