Abstract:A novel approach towards the synthesis of radiolabeled organometallic rhenium complexes is presented. We successfully synthesized and analyzed the first 188Re-labeled N-heterocyclic biscarbene complex, trans-dioxobis(1,1′-methylene-bis(3,3′-diisopropylimidazolium-2-ylidene))188rhenium(V) hexafluorophosphate (188Re-4) via transmetalation using an air-stable and moisture-stable silver(I) biscarbene complex. In order to assess the viability of this complex as a potential lead structure for in vivo applications, t… Show more
“…Various cationic Re(V) complexes with unsaturated mono-NHC ligands have been prepared. 4,30 Royo, Romão et al 30a and Abram et al 30b were the first to obtain cationic Re(V) oxo complexes bearing four unsaturated carbene ligands, by reacting strong Lewis basic NHCs with various rhenium precursors.…”
“…30g Based on this work, the groups of Reiner and Kühn developed a route towards a radiolabeled 188 Re N-heterocyclic carbene complex ( 188 Re-80). 4 The cold trans-dioxobis(1,1′methylene-bis(3,3′-diisopropylimidazolium-2-ylidene))rhenium(V)hexa-fluorophosphate (80) was synthesized following a previously published procedure. 4,30g By reacting ReOCl 3 (PPh 3 ) 2 with one equivalent of the corresponding silver carbene (78b) in acetonitrile, the trans-dioxorhenium biscarbene complex (80) is obtained.…”
“…The authors ascribe this to the bulkiness of the ligands at the rhenium centre and to the presence of potentially coordinating anions in the used environmental media. 4 In contrast to the similar water stable 99 Tc NHC complex (dioxobis(1,1′-methylene-bis(3,3′-dimethylimidazolium-2-ylidene))technecium(V)) published by Braband and coworkers, 40 which differs from the metal only by its less bulky methyl substituents, the bulkiness of the isopropyl ligands and the terminal oxo ligands may promote the de-coordination of the NHC ligand as the primary decomposition pathway in aqueous medium instead of reoxidation to free 188 perrhenate. The rapid decomposition in phosphate buffered saline solutions is due to the higher ionic strength of buffered solutions especially chloride anions can compete with the carbenes at the rheniumhence imidazolium salts are generated, that do not have the ability to bind to the metal again.…”
“…Despite the unfitness of this particular complex for use in radiopharmaceutical applications, due to its reduced stability under physiological conditions, a new approach for carrier-free and carrier-added radiolabeled rhenium NHC complexes has been opened. 4 These investigations done by Reiner and Kühn et al 4 illustrate that although several radiopharmaceuticals based on the Re I (CO) 3 -fragment 5o-r,41 as well as Re(V)-complexes 5h-j,l are known, only estimations based on steric, kinetic and electronic considerations can be done. Whether Re(I) or Re(V) in combination with different types of ligands are more stable under physiological relevant conditions can only be figured out by testing these compounds.…”
This review provides an overview of the currently known cationic rhenium NHC complexes. Synthesis, structures and properties are described. The title compounds are potential candidates for both catalytic and medical applications. Besides the variety of ancillary ligands, which are in some cases easily substituted, functionalization can be carried out in the side chain or at the backbone of the carbene ligand as well as - in the case of biscarbene ligands - at the bridging moiety. Cationic Re NHC complexes are promising precursors for radiopharmaceuticals and diagnostics - not only because of the possibility to radiolabel the metal (steps in this direction have been made and described already) - but rather the opportunity to link the complexes to biomolecules via the different possibilities provided by the ligands. The development of OLEDs based on luminescent Re(i) carbene complexes renders another potential application.

“…A Re(V) complex, 186g ReOCl 3 (PPh 3 ) 2 , was synthesized according to a literature-reported procedure [31] and obtained with similar radiolabeling yields (60-80%). This demonstrates the utility of our high specific activity 186g ReO 4 final product for use in radiolabeling studies.…”

Starting from 2,4-dichloropyrimidine, 4-(2-dialkylamino)pyrimidinyl functionalized mesitylimidazolium chlorides are accessible in a five-step reaction sequence. Two routes leading to palladium NHC complexes derived from these ligands have been worked out: By transmetalation with the corresponding NHC-AgCl complexes, C,N-coordinated palladium(II) complexes can be obtained. Treatment of palladium dichloride with the imidazolium salts in pyridine and in the presence of K CO gives cyclometalated and thus C,C-coordinated compounds. The reactivities of all these compounds were investigated in detail as well as their performance in the catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. It turned out that the C,C-coordinated derivatives exhibit high catalytic activities in the coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl chlorides, which is consistent with the generally accepted mechanistic ideas on substrate activation.
