Coordination compounds in nuclear medicine

Article Abstract:

A discussion on the coordination chemistry that forms the basis of nuclear medicine applications of developed and promising radiopharmaceuticals is presented. It is predicted that small-molecule radiopharmaceuticals whose mode of localization involves receptor reactions or metabolism are the future of nuclear medicine. Such a development will require a shift in the current trend of research to complex organic chemistry necessary in designing these new radiopharmaceuticals .

Polyoxometalates in medicine

Article Abstract:

Polyoxometalates (POMs) have two generic families namely, the isopoly compounds, which contain only the d(sub 0) metal cations and oxide anions, and the heteropoly compounds, which contain one or more p-, d-, or f-block heteroatoms in addition to other ions. As to date, the latter has dominated the medically-oriented research on POMs as the heteropoly compounds are numerous and their structural and electronic properties are easier to alter synthetically.
