The development of a fast and novel methodology to generate carbon-11 carbon monoxide ([<sup>11</sup> C]CO) from cyclotron-produced carbon-11 carbon dioxide ([<sup>11</sup> C]CO<sub>2</sub> ) mediated by a fluoride-activated disilane species is described. This methodology allows up to 74 % conversion of [<sup>11</sup> C]CO<sub>2</sub> to [<sup>11</sup> C]CO using commercially available reagents, readily available laboratory equipment and mild reaction conditions (room temperature). As proof of u ...[more]
