Nuclear magnetic relaxation in the presence of paramagnetic centres has gained increasing interest in recent years partly due to its importance for contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Rational design of new more efficient agents is possible as a ...
Three novel GdDO3A-type bismacrocyclic complexes, conjugated to Ca2+ chelating moieties like ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid bisamides, were synthesized as potential "smart" magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent ...
Since contrasts agents are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), numerous efforts have been done to increase their relaxivity (parameter allowing to quantify contrast agent efficiency). Few years ago, the Merbach group developed the chelating agent DTT ...
The new homoditopic ligand H2LC2′ self-assembles with lanthanide ions (LnIII) to yield neutral bimetallic helicates of overall composition [Ln2(LC2′)3]; it is fitted with two hexakis(oxyethylene) chains to test their effects on the thermo ...
This Ph.D. work deals with the development of lanthanide-based bioprobes for biomedical analyses and imaging. For this purpose, two different approaches have been followed, one focusing on visible-emitting complexes, while the second addresses the sensitiz ...
The knowledge and understanding of the mechanism as well as the rate constant of the solvent exchange reactions are fundamental, since these reactions represent an important step in complex formation reactions on metal ions. Solvent exchange reactions in a ...
Electron-spin relaxation is one of the determining factors in the efficacy of MRI contrast agents. Of all the parameters involved in determining relaxivity it remains the least well understood, particularly as it relates to the structure of the complex. On ...
With their nanoscalar, superparamagnetic Gd3+-ion clusters (1 ´ 5 nm) confined within ultrashort (20-80 nm) single- walled carbon nanotube capsules, gadonanotubes are high- performance T1-weighted contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At 1. ...
The hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of the lanthanide silicate system [Na6Ln2Si12O30x H2O] (Ln=La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+), named AV-21, has been reported. Structural elucidation of the Sm3+ analogue (isomorphous with the Eu3+, ...
We applied first principles molecular dynamics (MD) technique to study structure, dynamics, and magnetic interactions of the Gd3+ aqua ion dissolved in liquid water, a prototypical system for Gd-based complexes used as contrast agents for magnetic res ...
