Despite the close association between tellurium (Te) and gold (Au) in many epithermal, orogenic, and intrusion-related hydrothermal ore deposits, the hydrothermal chemistry of Te remains poorly understood. We studied the protonation/ deprotonation and stru ...
Two new tripodal heptadentate ligands, H4dpaba (N,N'-bis[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]aspartic acid) and H3mpatcn(1,4-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-7-[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane), which bear one or two picolinate pendant arms, have been ...
Gold nanoparticles functionalized with Gd3+ chelates displaying fast water exchange, superb pH stability and inertness towards transmetalation with Zn2+ have been prepared and characterized as a new high relaxivity (29 mM(-1) s(-1), 30 MHz, 25 degrees C) c ...
Herein we report a detailed H-1 and O-17 relaxometric investigation of Mn(II) complexes with cyclenbased ligands such as 2-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl)acetic acid (DO IA), 2,2 '-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4-diyI)diacetic acid (1,4-DO2A), 2,2 ...
Zerfo field splitting plays an important role in determining the electron spin relaxation of Gd(III) in solution. We understand the ZFS as an effect depending on the f electron structure and treat it in the framework of ligand field-density functional theo ...
The rotation of the carboxylate groups in DOTA (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate) complexes of several lanthanide ions and Sc3+ was investigated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and with variable temperature O-17 ...
The objective of this work was the synthesis of serum albumin targeted, GdIII-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents exhibiting a strong pH-dependent relaxivity. Two new complexes (Gd-glu and Gd-bbu) were synthesized based on the DO3A macro ...
A series of novel triazole derivative pyridine-based polyaminopolycarboxylate ligands has been synthesized for lanthanide complexation. This versatile platform of chelating agents combines advantageous properties for both magnetic resonance (MR) and optica ...
In the objective of developing ligands that simultaneously satisfy the requirements for MRI contrast agents and near-IR emitting optical probes that are suitable for imaging, three isoquinoline-based polyaminocarboxylate ligands, L1, L2 and L3, have been s ...
Homoleptic acetonitrile complexes [Gd(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4) and [Eu(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4) have been studied in anhydrous acetonitrile by N-14- and H-1 NMR relaxation as well as by X- and Q-band EPR. For each compound a combined analys ...
