Chemical Synthesis Laboratories

These facilities include three laboratories (SQ1, SQ2, SQ3) dedicated to the synthesis of novel non-radioactive molecules to be applied in the development of molecular/nanosized tools for application in nuclear imaging (PET or SPECT) or radionuclide therapy, namely for cancer theranostics.
The research activities developed in these facilities are focused on the synthesis of organic compounds, and inorganic or organometallic complexes of d- and f- transition elements. Organic compounds include biologically active molecules and bifunctional chelators, with or without biologically active fragments, to prepare the stable d- and f- transition metal complexes.
All the synthesized compounds are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry and HPLC.
