Chemical and biological studies of technetium nitrosyl complexes

A simple and widely applicable method for the synthesis of technetium nitrosyl complexes containing either [99Tc] or [99mTc] has been developed using hydroxylamine as a reducing agent. A number of readily available complexes such as [TcO4]- or [TcX6]2- (X = Cl, Br, I) may be employed as the starting material. [Continues.]
