Advances in Chemistry Research Volume 18

This book presents original research results on the leading edge of chemistry research. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Topics discussed include lymphoscintigraphy using 99mTc-labeled colloidal particles; structural and stereoisomers in the chemistry of Ge, Sn and Pb complexes; Re/Tc radiopharmaceutical design utilizing orthogonal and metal template based click reactions; modulation of yield and stereoselectivity of glycosylation; advances in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions; fructose and the Reaven's syndrome; hydroxyacids and neurodegenerative disorders; the transmutation of technetium; applications of the Von Mises distribution (VMD) of circular statistics to chemical and environmental engineering; and the molecular composition and uses of technetium.
