Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Nearly two decades of research efforts have been devoted to paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) to produce image contrast in magnetic resonance imaging. Less than twenty iron-based paraCEST agents have been reported so far, the majority of which are ligated by macrocyclic chelates. In the work presented here three isostructural tripodal ligands sharing a common tris-(aza-butenyl)amine foundation are explored to further diversify iron-based paraCEST agents. One of the complexes provides contrast with a CEST effect of 33 % for a 10 mm sample, a paramagnetic shift (Delta omega) of 85 ppm from bulk H2O, and exhibits some stability to biologically relevant ions.
