Tens of millions of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams are
performed annually around the world. The contrast agents, which improve diagnostic …

Gadolinium (III) complexes have been widely utilised as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
contrast agents for decades. In recent years however, concerns have developed about their …

In addition to the already described ligand L 4a, two pyclen-based lanthanide chelators, L
4b and L 4c, bearing two specific picolinate two-photon antennas (tailor-made for each …

Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides is a continuous
series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences …

Radiometals play an important role in the diagnosis of physiological processes in vivo by
means of imaging technologies, but also increasingly contribute to the treatment of diseases …

Despite established clinical utilisation, there is an increasing need for safer, more inert
gadolinium-based contrast agents, and for chelators that react rapidly with radiometals. Here …

It has been more than 15 years since the last authoritative report on the solution structure of
lanthanide complexes made from cylcen derived polydentate ligands. The field has …

OCTAPA4–, which contains a rigid 1, 2-diaminocyclohexane scaffold functionalized with two …

In the past, Lanthanide Luminescent Bioprobes (LLBs) based on pyclen-bearing π-extended
picolinate antennas were synthesized and demonstrated well-adapted optical properties for …

Small organic conjugated molecule-based rare earth complexes are a kind of promising
light-conversion material used in greenhouse films to improve the crop yield. Unfortunately …
