title: Copper complexes of thiosemicarbazone-pyridylhydrazine (THYNIC) hybrid ligands: a new versatile potential bifunctional chelator for copper radiopharmaceuticals.
abstract: Two new thiosemicarbazone-pyridylhydrazine (THYNIC) hybrid ligands have been synthesized. Copper(II) and copper(I) complexes of the ligands have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show that the copper(II) complexes undergo quasi-reversible reductions at biologically accessible potentials. One of the ligands, bearing a pendant carboxylate arm, has been conjugated to N-alpha-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-lysine.
