The radiofluorination of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) phosphorus(v) fluoride adducts has been investigated. The results show that the IMe-PF<sub>5</sub> derivative (IMe = 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) undergoes a Lewis acid promoted <sup>18</sup>F-<sup>19</sup>F isotopic exchange. The resulting radiofluorinated probe is remarkably resistant to hydrolysis both in vitro as well as in vivo. ...[more]
