Abstract
A gadolinium(III) complex of an 18-membered hexa-aza macrocycle, with relaxivities higher than [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]2− and [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]−, has been synthesized and its crystal structure indicates a nine-coordinate gadolinium ion bound to three water oxygen atoms and six nitrogen donors from the macrocyclic ligand.
