Gas Phase Transformations in Carbon-11 Chemistry. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 The short-lived positron-emitter carbon-11 (t1/2 = 20.4 min; b+, 99.8%) is prominent for labeling tracers for use in biomedical research with positron emission tomography (PET). Carbon-11 is produced for this purpose with a cyclotron, nowadays almost exclusively by the 14N(p,a)11C nuclear reaction, either on nitrogen containing a low concentration of ...

Carbon-11 Radiotracing Reveals Physiological and Metabolic Responses of Maize Grown under Different Regimes of Boron Treatment [PDF]
Plants, 2022 In agriculture, boron is known to play a critical role in healthy plant growth. To dissect the role of boron in maize metabolism, radioactive carbon-11 (t½ 20.4 min) was used to examine the physiological and metabolic responses of 3-week-old B73 maize ...

Ethanolic carbon-11 chemistry: the introduction of green radiochemistry. [PDF]
Appl Radiat Isot, 2014 The principles of green chemistry have been applied to a radiochemistry setting. Eleven carbon-11 labeled radiopharmaceuticals have been prepared using ethanol as the only organic solvent throughout the entire manufacturing process. The removal of all other organic solvents from the process simplifies production and quality control (QC) testing, moving
