description A 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) variant bearing two thiosemicarbazone pendant groups has been prepared. The ligand forms complexes with Mn<sup>2+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup>. X-ray crystallography of the Mn<sup>2+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup> complexes showed that the ligand provides a six-coordinate environment for the metal ions. The Mn<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup> complexes exist in the solid state as racemic mixtures of the Δ(δ,δ,δ,δ)/Λ(λ,λ,λ,λ) and Δ(λ,λ,λ,λ)/Λ(δ,δ,δ,δ) diastereomers, and the Co<sup>2+</sup> complex exists as the Δ(δ,δ,δ,δ)/Λ(λ,λ,λ,λ) and Δ(λ,λ,λ,δ)/Λ(δ,δ,δ,λ) diastereomers. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the relative energies of the diastereomers are within 10 kJ mol<sup>−1</sup>. Magnetic susceptibility of the complexes indicated that both the Mn<sup>2+</sup> and Co<sup>2+</sup> ions are high spin. The ligand was radiolabelled with gallium-68, in the interest of developing new positron emission tomography imaging agents, which produced a single species in high radiochemical purity (>95%) at 90 °C for 10 min.
