Synergistic coordination in 89Zr–DFO (deferoxamine) complexes: computational and experimental insights into auxiliary ligands

Abstract

This study combines computational and experimental methods to investigate how auxiliary ligands enhance thermodynamic stability in hexacoordinate 89Zr–DFO (deferoxamine) complexes. Strong electrostatic interactions favour HPO42− over H2O, Cl, CO32− and C2O42−, indicating superior stability for advanced medical diagnostics and treatment applications.
