(h) The radiopharmaceutical, ⁹⁹m Tc-HMPAO (shown below), is used as a single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging agent for brain perfusion. (i) What is the oxidation state and d-electron count of technetium in 9⁹mTc-HMPAO? 99m Tc-HMPAO (ii) What properties of the complex are important for its use as a brain perfusion agent? (iii) Provide a balanced equation to illustrate the radioactive decay of the 9⁹m Tc nucleus. (5 marks)
