| Title | Davison, Alan: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed. 99TcM: 99 should appear as small raised figures |
| Citation | Professor Davison is distinguished for his many contributions in the field of organometallic and coordinated chemistry and, in particular, for the discovery of 99TcM-labelled myocardial imaging agents. His early work was concerned with important developments in organometallic and coordination chemistry, especially in the areas of dithiolate complexes of the transition metals. Since the late 1970s he has worked in the area of coordination compounds and technetium and rhenium, and has developed new technetium chemistry which led to the key discovery of several technetium compounds, including cationic hexakisisonitrile derivatives, which have medical applications as radio-diagnostic reagents. These reagents are now in widespread routine use throughout the world for diagnosis of diseases of the heart. Most recently his 99TC compounds have been approved for use as an improved method for the diagnosis of breast tumours |
