Global InformationOrganotechnetium chemistry information
Organotechnetium chemistry is the science of describing the physical properties, synthesis, and reactions of organotechnetium compounds, which are organometallic compounds containing carbon-to-technetium chemical bonds. The most common organotechnetium compounds are coordination complexes used as radiopharmaceutical imaging agents.[1][2]
In general, organotechnetium compounds are not typically used in chemical reactions or catalysis due to their radioactivity. Research on technetium chemistry is often done in conjunction with rhenium as a isoelectronic non-radioactive alternative to technetium.[3]
