Water-soluble carbonyl complexes of 99Tc(I) and Re(I) with adamantane-cage aminophosphines PTA and CAP

Pentacarbonyl complexes of 99Tc and Re [M(CAP)(CO)5]X and [M(PTA)(CO)5]X (M = 99Tc or Re and X = ClO4− or OTf–) with aminophosphine ligands 1,4,7-triaza-9-phosphatricyclo[5.3.214,9]tridecane (CAP) and 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) were prepared for the first time by the reaction of [MX(CO)5] (M = 99Tc or Re, X = ClO4− or OTf–) with CAP and PTA in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The reaction of [TcCl(CO)5] with CAP in refluxing CH2Cl2 yields the tricarbonyl complex [99TcCl(CAP)2(CO)3]. Treatment of [Re(H2O)3(CO)3]Cl with CAP in aqueous solution at 40–50 °C gives the rhenium analog [ReCl(CAP)2(CO)3]. Both penta- and tricarbonyl phosphine complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, MS) and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The [M(PTA)(CO)5]X complexes are soluble in aqueous solutions, whereas their CAP analogs are not. The CAP complexes become water-soluble after acidification with dilute acids. As the pH of their aqueous solutions increases, they start to slowly degrade at pH 8 and completely decompose at pH 14. In acidic media, the pentacarbonyl complexes undergo stepwise protonation and are stable indefinitely

Technetium and Rhenium Pentacarbonyl Complexes with C₂ and C₁₁ ω‑Isocyanocarboxylic Acid Esters

Technetium­(I) and rhenium­(I) pentacarbonyl complexes with ethyl 2-isocyanoacetate and methyl 11-isocyanoundecanoate, [M­(CO)₅­(CNCH₂­COOEt)]­ClO₄ (M = Tc (<b>1</b>) and Re (<b>2</b>)) and [M­(CO)₅­(CN­(CH₂)₁₀­COOMe)]­ClO₄ (M = Tc (<b>3</b>) and Re (<b>4</b>)), were prepared and characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C­{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The kinetics of thermal decarbonylation of technetium complexes <b>1</b> and <b>3</b> in ethylene glycol was studied by IR spectroscopy. The rate constants and activation parameters of this reaction were determined and compared with those for [Tc­(CO)₆]⁺. It was found that rhenium complexes <b>2</b> and <b>4</b> were stable with respect to thermal decarbonylation. Histidine challenge reaction of complexes <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> in phosphate buffer was examined by IR spectroscopy. In the presence of histidine, the rhenium pentacarbonyl isocyanide complex partially decomposes to form an unidentified yellow precipitate. Technetium analogue <b>1</b> is more stable under these conditions

Search for the lepton-flavour violating decays B0→K∗0μ±e∓B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^\pm e^\mp and Bs0→ϕμ±e∓B_s^0 \to \phi \mu^\pm e^\mp

A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays $B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^\pm e^\mp$ and $B_s^0 \to \phi \mu^\pm e^\mp$ is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\text{fb}^{-1}$. No significant signals are observed and upper limits of \begin{align} {\cal B}( B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^+ e^- ) &< \phantom{1}5.7\times 10^{-9}~(6.9\times 10^{-9}),\newline {\cal B}( B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^- e^+ ) &< \phantom{1}6.8\times 10^{-9}~(7.9\times 10^{-9}),\newline {\cal B}( B^0 \to K^{*0} \mu^\pm e^\mp ) &< 10.1\times 10^{-9}~(11.7\times 10^{-9}),\newline {\cal B}( B_s^0 \to \phi \mu^\pm e^\mp ) &< 16.0\times 10^{-9}~(19.8\times 10^{-9}) \end{align} are set at $90\%~(95\%)$ confidence level. These results constitute the world's most stringent limits to date, with the limit on the decay $B_s^0 \to \phi \mu^\pm e^\mp$ the first being set. In addition, limits are reported for scalar and left-handed lepton-flavour violating New Physics scenarios.A search for the lepton-flavour violating decays B$^{0}$ → K$^{*0}$μ$^{±}$e$^{∓}$ and ${B}_s^0$→ ϕμ$^{±}$e$^{∓}$ is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{−1}$.

The LHCb upgrade I

International audienceThe LHCb upgrade represents a major change of the experiment. The detectors have been almost completely renewed to allow running at an instantaneous luminosity five times larger than that of the previous running periods. Readout of all detectors into an all-software trigger is central to the new design, facilitating the reconstruction of events at the maximum LHC interaction rate, and their selection in real time. The experiment's tracking system has been completely upgraded with a new pixel vertex detector, a silicon tracker upstream of the dipole magnet and three scintillating fibre tracking stations downstream of the magnet. The whole photon detection system of the RICH detectors has been renewed and the readout electronics of the calorimeter and muon systems have been fully overhauled. The first stage of the all-software trigger is implemented on a GPU farm. The output of the trigger provides a combination of totally reconstructed physics objects, such as tracks and vertices, ready for final analysis, and of entire events which need further offline reprocessing. This scheme required a complete revision of the computing model and rewriting of the experiment's software
