Abstract

A series of bulky and neutral gadolinium complexes of [bis(R-amide)dtpaH 3] (where R = Pr i,, Bu i,, Bz and phenylethyl, L 1--L 4)) with potential application as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging has been prepared and characterized ; the relaxivity of these complexes is comparable to the contrast agent [Gd(dtpa)(H 2OO)] ; which is which is currently used in clinics; the X-ray structure analysis of the gadolinium(III) complex of L 3 reveals a neutral nine-coordinate complex featuring a water molecule in the tricapped trigonal prismatic metal coordination sphere.
