Applying aryltrifluoroborates as PET imaging agents

This dissertation is focused on applying aryltrifluoroborates (ArBF₃s) as PET imaging agents. Several aspects of this new ¹⁸F-labeling technique are addressed. These include the hydrolytic stability of heteroaryltrifluoroborates (HetArBF₃s), the fluoridation of arylboronic acids/esters and the radio...
