Copper(I) bis(diphosphine) complexes as a basis for radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography and targeted radiotherapy

Jason S. Lewis, Jamal Zweit, Jason L. J. Dearling, Barrie C. Rooney and Philip J. Blower


Copper(I) bis(diphosphine) complexes provide an excellent basis for development of short/medium-lived PET (position emission tomography) imaging and therapy agents containing copper radioisotopes, because of their extreme facility of synthesis and scope for derivatisation and bioconjugate formation.
