Ligation driven (19)F relaxation enhancement in self-assembled Ln(III) complexes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Feb 18;51(14):2918-20. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09952d.

Abstract

Strong bidentate ligation between a fluorinated isophthalate and binuclear lanthanide-DO3A species yields a new class of (19)F NMR agent with very high nuclear relaxation rates at physiologically-relevant pH.
