ACETATE COMPLEXES AND METHODS FOR ACETATE QUANTIFICATION

摘要

The present invention is directed to methods of acetate quantification and acetate complexes useful in the methods of acetate quantification. Such methods and complexes are useful for any application where acetate quantification is desired, including measuring of concentration of ¹³C hyperpolarized acetate for imaging agent quality control in MRI and NMR spectroscopy. The disclosed acetate complexes may be prepared from acetate, Fe³⁺, and sulfosalicylic acid and from acetate, Fe³⁺, and salicylic acid.
