abstract = {Due to its favorable decay properties, the non-standard
radionuclide 45Ti is a promising PET isotope for tumor
imaging. Additionally, titanium complexes are widely used as
anti-tumor agents and 45Ti could be used to study their in
vivo distribution and metabolic fate. However, although 45Ti
can be obtained using the 45Sc(p,n)45Ti nuclear reaction its
facile production is offset by the high oxophilicity and
hydrolytic instability of Ti4+ ions in aqueous solutions,
which complicate recovery from the irradiated Sc matrix.
Most available 45Ti recovery procedures rely on ion exchange
chromatography or solvent extraction techniques which are
time-consuming, produce large final elution volumes, or, in
case of solvent extraction, cannot easily be automated. Thus
a more widespread application of 45Ti for PET imaging has
been hampered. Here, we describe a novel, solvent-free
approach for recovery of 45Ti that involves formation of
[45Ti]TiCl4 by heating of an irradiated Sc target in a gas
stream of chlorine, followed by thermochromatographic
separation of the volatile radiometal chloride from
co-produced scandium chloride and trapping of [45Ti]TiCl4 in
a glass vial at − 78 °C. The recovery of 45Ti amounted to
76 ± $5\%$ (n = 5) and the radionuclidic purity was
determined to be $> 99\%.$ After trapping, the [45Ti]TiCl4
could be directly used for 45Ti-radiolabeling, as
demonstrated by the successful radiosynthesis of
[45Ti][Ti(2,4-salan)].},
