Rhenium and Technetium Complexes Anchored by Phosphines and Scorpionates... 

In this work, the chemistry of rhenium and technetium complexes anchored by heterofunctionalized phosphines and by scorpionates will be reviewed. Special attention will be given to those chemical aspects that, according to the authors, could enhance the ability of using these ligands in the development of target-specific radiopharmaceuticals. In this context, the chemistry of the novel fac-[M(CO)3]+ and [M(N)PXP]2+ metal fragments will also be mentioned,but to such an extent that minimizes any overlap with other reviews published in this special issue of Topics in Current Chemistry. 

Fig. 3 Phosphine-containing HYNIC chelators and their macrocyclic technetium complexes. These chelators are designed in such a way that when HYNIC binds to the technetium center it becomes much easier for the phosphine-P to bond to the technetium and form a macrocyclic 99mTc chelate...
