| Abstract
| - Gallium and indium complexes with pendant carbohydrates have been prepared and examined fortheir potential as radiopharmaceuticals. Carbohydrate-bearing 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone ligand precursors and their tris(ligand)gallium(III) and -indium(III) complexes were synthesized and characterizedby mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and in the case of oneintermediate, by X-ray crystallography. With three equivalents of ligand, neutral complexes formedwith the bidentate hydroxypyridinone moiety complexing the gallium(III) and indium(III) metal centers.
