Fluorinated nitroimidazoles and their ruthenium complexes : potential hypoxia-imaging agents

With the goal of synthesizing nitroimidazole-based hypoxia imaging agents for the detection of cancerous tumours, the chemistry of halogen incorporation, especially fluorine, into the NI side-chain of nitroimidazoles was investigated. The coordination of these nitroimidazoles and other methyl (Me...
