AI Article Synopsis
- The study of scandium(III) in aqueous chemistry is gaining attention for potential uses in nuclear medicine due to the increased availability of its radioactive isotopes.
- Unlike other rare earth elements, scandium lacks d or f electrons, making its coordination complexes difficult to characterize using traditional methods that rely on electronic transitions.
- This paper presents a detailed review of various characterization techniques that can effectively analyze the behavior of both small and large complexes of scandium in solution.
Article Abstract
The aqueous chemistry of scandium(III) is of emerging interest for biological applications, specifically in nuclear medicine, as radioactive isotopes of scandium are becoming more readily accessible. In contrast to other rare earths, Sc has no d or f electrons, limiting characterization of corresponding coordination complexes to spectroscopic techniques that do not rely on the characteristic electronic transitions of f-elements or transition metal ions. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview on characterization techniques suitable to elucidate the solution behavior of small and macromolecular complexes of the smallest rare earth.
