Macrocycles and complexation of large metal cations
Faltejsek, Jan ; Hermann, Petr (advisor) ; Drahoš, Bohuslav (referee)
In the last years, radioisotopes of heavy elements from the bottom of the Periodic Table have been increasingly used in nuclear medicine with focus on alpha-therapy. These large metal ions demand ligands fulfilling their special requirements. Complexes of polyazamacrocyclic ligands have been used in radiomedicine for a long time as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. This work aims to con- tribute to understanding of coordination chemistry of large macrocycles toward large metal ions. Thus, this work deals with structural studies, formation and decomplexation kinetics of Ln(III)-H4pyta complexes employing X-ray solid-state and solution NMR/UV-Vis spectroscopic data. The H4pyta is a 18-membered hexaazamacrocycle formed by two pyridine units and four amine groups which are modified with four acetate pendant arms. In the solid state, several isomeric complexes were structu- rally characterized. Large Ln(III) ions form decacoordinated species with two and two acetates on each side of the macrocyclic N6-plane. Small Ln(III) binds the ligand in a nonadentate fashion with one pendant non-coordinated. In the middle of lanthanide series, both isomers were characterized for several Ln(III) ions. Formation of the complexes takes place in a three-step mechanism with fast formation of an out-of-cage intermediate...
