Reactor-based production of medically relevant 64Cu is only possible using recoil chemistry. We report highly soluble tert-butyl copper(II) phthalocyanine as the target material. This enables efficient 64Cu recovery through liquid-liquid extraction after neutron capture. The automatable process allows reuse of the target material and achieves a molar activity of 950 MBq μmol-1.
