Abstract :
[en] A new polyaminocarboxylate ligand derived from N, C-pyrazolylpyridine was synthesized. The luminescence and relaxometry properties of its Tb3+ and Gd3+ chelates were investigated in aqueous solutions. The Tb3+ chelate is strongly luminescent having remarkable lifetime and quantum yield (tau = 1.82 ms and Phi = 0.42). The I/T-1 proton relaxivity at 20 MHz and 25 degrees C (5.3 s(-1) mM(-1)) of the Gd3+ chelate was found to be comparable to that of the clinically used Gd-DTPA.
