Abstract

A hexan-3,4-dione bis(4N-phenylthiosemicarbazone) gallium nitrate complex was synthesised and the structure was confirmed by NMR studies. The complex was prepared using an appropriately substituted dithiosemicarbazone and sodium methoxide in anhydrous methanol. The structure was further confirmed using single crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of gallium nitrate complex of diphenylthiosemicarbazone comprise a planar configuration of the tetradentate coordinated thiosemicarbazone with the Ga3+ ion, with the nitrate ligand occupying the apical coordination site. The X-ray structure of the gallium fluoride complex of pentan-2,3-dione bis(4N-phenylthiosemicarbazone) has been determined and confirms exchange of the nitrate can be achieved with fluoride. We show facile exchange of 18F, a positron emitter, to form the 18F-gallium complex under mild conditions, thus providing confirmation that such a transformation can be used to introduce 18F directly into nitrate-coordinated complexes of gallium-thiosemicarbozone complexes, a new labelling strategy for the preparation of imaging agents.
