    • On the Dissociation Pathways of Copper Complexes Relevant as Pet Imaging Agents 

      Uzal-Varela, Rocío; Patinec, Véronique; Tripier, Raphaël; Valencia, Laura; Maneiro, Marcelino; Canle, Moisés; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Esteban-Gómez, David; Iglesias, Emilia (Elsevier, 2022)
      [Abstract] Several bifunctional chelators have been synthesized in the last years for the development of new 64Cu-based PET agents for in vivo imaging. When designing a metal-based PET probe, it is important to achieve ...
    • Room temperature molecular up conversion in solution 

      Nonat, Aline; Chan, Chi Fai; Liu, Tao; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Liu, Zhenyu; Wong, Wing-Tak; Wong, Wai-Kwok; Wong, Ka-Leung; Charbonnière, Loïc J. (Springer Nature, 2016-06-15)
      [Abstract] Up conversion is an Anti-Stokes luminescent process by which photons of low energy are piled up to generate light at a higher energy. Here we show that the addition of fluoride anions to a D2O solution of a ...
