Relaxivity modulation in Gd-functionalised mesoporous silicas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two hybrid materials based on mesoporous silicas SBA-15 and MCM-41 functionalized with stable and electrically neutral Gd(iii) macrocyclic complexes were prepared, and their (1)H NMR relaxometric properties investigated as a function of temperature and magnetic field strength.

Soft route for monodisperse gold nanoparticles confined within SH-functionalized walls of mesoporous silica†
In this paper, we report a soft route leading to small gold nanoparticles confined within the framework of 2D-hexagonal mesoporous SH-functionalised silicas. For that purpose, a hydrophilic bis-silylated precursor containing a disulfide unit was prepared. Framework-functionalised materials were obtained in one step by the ‘‘direct synthesis’’ method which consists of a co-hydrolysis and polycon...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles functionalised with stable, fast water exchanging Gd3+ chelates as high relaxivity contrast agents for MRI.
Gold nanoparticles functionalized with Gd(3+) chelates displaying fast water exchange, superb pH stability and inertness towards transmetalation with Zn(2+) have been prepared and characterized as a new high relaxivity (29 mM(-1) s(-1), 30 MHz, 25 °C) contrast agent potentially safe for in vivo MRI applications. The Lipari-Szabo treatment for internal rotation was used to evaluate the effect of...
متن کاملResponsive, di-metallic lanthanide complexes of a piperazine-bridged bis-macrocyclic ligand: modulation of visible luminescence and proton relaxivity.
The synthesis of a new functionalised bis-macrocyclic ligand (L1) is described together with the corresponding Ln(III) complexes, Ln(2)- (Ln = Gd(III), Eu(III)). Phosphorescence measurements on Gd(2)- at 77 K allowed the ligand-centred triplet state ((3)pi-pi*) to be estimated at ca. 28500 cm(-1). Steady state and time-resolved measurements confirmed emission from the f-centred excited state ((...
متن کاملGadolinium-functionalised multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a T1 contrast agent for MRI cell labelling and tracking
The development of efficient contrast agents for cell labelling coupled with powerful medical imaging techniques is of great interest for monitoring cell trafficking with potential clinical applications such as organ repair and regenerative medicine. In this paper, functionalised multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were engineered for cell labelling in T1-weighted MRI applications. These soph...
متن کاملStrategies for increasing relaxivity of gold nanoparticle based MRI contrast agents.
The factors limiting the relaxivity (r) of MRI contrast agents based on small (∼2.0 nm) gold nanoparticles functionalised with paramagnetic chelates were explored using EPR spectroscopy. The EPR analysis suggested that nanoparticle-attached chelates exhibit relatively high tumbling rates which restrict their relaxivity. Two different strategies were employed in order to test this hypothesis and...
