Abstract
Production of 38Cl and 34mCl via the (d, α) reaction on natural argon and 36Ar reveal medical cyclotrons' ability to supply these isotopes in small quantities. 38Cl provides an inexpensive developmental tool, while 34mCl is a positron emitter of interest in PET imaging. Production yields, cyclotron target development, cryo-recovery of enriched gases, and nucleophilic chemistry of a model compound are described.
