The diagnostic capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have undergone
continuous and substantial evolution by virtue of hardware and software innovations and the …

Bifunctional chelating agents (BFCAs) are molecules which contain two different moieties: a
strong metal chelating unit and a reactive functional group. The latter is directed to react with …

The water exchange rates of water molecules coordinated to the metal ion in lanthanide
complexes have been profusely investigated during the last 25 years, especially in the case …

MR imaging at high magnetic fields benefits from an increased signal-to-noise ratio;
however T 1-based MR contrast agents show decreasing relaxivity (r 1) at higher fields. High …

We have developed a simple and rapid colorimetric method for on-site analysis of thiram
and paraquat using cyclen dithiocarbamate-functionalized silver nanoparticles (CN-DTC-Ag …

Contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging are frequently employed as experimental
and clinical probes. Drawbacks include low signal sensitivity, fast clearance, and …

A novel MRI blood-pool contrast agent (Gd-AAZTA-MADEC) has been compared with
established blood pool agents for tumor contrast enhanced images and angiography …

Gold nanoparticles functionalized with Gd3+ chelates displaying fast water exchange,
superb pH stability and inertness towards transmetalation with Zn2+ have been prepared …

A bifunctional chelator featuring (DO3A-AM)-Porphyrin units has been prepared. The high-
field relaxivity of the Gd complex is similar to those of currently available contrast agents …

Fluorescent zinc complexes have recently attracted a lot of interest owing to their vast
applications in cellular imaging. We report the synthesis as well as physical, chemical and …
