Polyamines and applications. A look at the first workshop in linear and cyclic polyamines chemistry
Given their versatile coordination properties, cyclic and linear polyamines are the subject of numerous worksin many research groups. This great interest is mainly related to their use in diverse fields such as removalof metals from liquids, purification of gases, application in catalysis, in sensors, as well as in various probesfor medical applications. This paper summarizes recent results obtained by the French research groupswhich attended the first ìworkshop in linear and cyclic polyamines chemistryî.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Stable Copper(I) Complex for Radiopharmaceutical Applications
A highly stable copper(I) complex was obtained starting from a copper(II) salt. This compound was characterized by a combination of several analytical techniques (UV/Vis spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and was shown to present an N4Cu structure. These results were confirmed by a density functional calculations study of the binding energy and the electronic structure of model ligand and copper complexes. Preliminary tests of complexation showed a high ability of the corresponding ligand to chelate 64Cu in very diluted medium, which is of interest for developing new positron emission tomography imaging agents. The sta…
