A technetium(V) complex resulting from intramolecular ring closure of a tridentate schiff base ligand. X-ray crystal structure of chlorobis( 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazolato)oxotechnetium(V)

Bis(ligand) Rhenium(V) and Technetium(V) Complexes of Two Naturally Occurring Binding Moieties (Oxazoline and Thiazoline)

Attempts to prepare tris(ligand) metal complexes of technetium in intermediate oxidation states with potentially bidentate oxazoline- and thiazoline-containing ligands were unsuccessful; when pertechnetate was reduced in the presence of excess ligand, TcO(2).xH(2)O was produced. Instead, by reaction with preformed M.O cores, a series of oxotechnetium(V) and oxorhenium(V) complexes of the formula MOXL(2) (M = Re, X = Br; M = Tc, X = Cl) and HL = 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline (Hoz), 2-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methylphenyl)-2-oxazoline (Hmoz), 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-thiazoline (Hthoz), and 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-2-benzoxazoline (Hhbo) have been prepared. These compounds have been characterized by a variety of techniques including single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of Hthoz (C(9)H(9)NOS) are monoclinic, with space group P2(1)/n, a = 7.5342(6) Å, b = 12.2187(6) Å, c = 9.3942(8) Å, beta = 94.233(7) degrees, and Z = 4; those of TcOCl(thoz)(2) (C(18)H(16)ClN(2)O(3)S(2)Tc) are monoclinic, with space group P2(1)/n, a = 16.506(1) Å, b = 7.664(1) Å, c = 16.3216(6) Å, beta = 111.154(4) degrees, and Z = 4; those of ReOBr(oz)(2) (C(18)H(16)BrN(2)O(5)Re) are orthorhombic, with space group Pbca, a = 12.864(2) Å, b = 25.369(2) Å, c = 11.025(2) Å, and Z = 8. The structures were solved by direct (Hthoz) or Patterson (metal complexes) methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.033, 0.032, and 0.028 for 1600, 3152, and 2651 reflections with I >/= 3sigma(I), respectively. In the two complexes, the geometry around the metals is distorted octahedral with the halide ligands in each bound cis, and one phenolate oxygen from one ligand in each bound trans to the metal-oxo linkage. In ReOBr(oz)(2), the two oxazoline nitrogens are coordinated trans to one another; in TcOCl(thoz)(2), the two thiazoline nitrogens are found cis to one another.

The hexachlorotechnetate reagent in the synthesis, characterization and biodistribution of two novel lipophilic complexes

The hexachlorotechnetate reagent has been used to synthesize lipophilic complexes of technetium-99m with polydentate ligands, using ligand exchange reactions and acetonitrile as an aprotic solvent. The complexes isolated were partially characterized by chromatographic (paper and HPLC) and electrophoretic methods. Preliminary data on biodistribution studies, carried out in rabbits, are also presented. This work documents that the hexachlorotechnetate reagent is a suitable intermediate for the rapid synthesis of new lipophilic complexes of technetium-99m.
