Abstract
Facile and quantitative dissociation of bis(thiosemicarbazonato)zinc(ll) complexes to give the corresponding neutral proligands in solution has been achieved by reaction with citric acid. This reaction provides an elegant solution to a problem encountered in the design, synthesis and purification of potential copper-based radiopharmaceuticals.
