What is your paper that you are most proud of?
Why?
Radiolabelling chemistry with 211At has long been derived from its closest homologue element, iodine, with generally a very similar reactivity in organic reactions. During the experiments performed for this study, I had the chance to observe by myself that it is not always the case. Astatine remains as of today a very elusive element, (it has even been qualified as a “chameleon”) and I was glad to report on this unexpected observation. In addition, following publication, I had the chance to be contacted by a national press newspaper which offered me a full page to write an article about it and astatine in general. It was in the newsstands on my birthday!
