      [Abstract] We report a complete set of magnetic susceptibilities of lanthanide complexes with a macrocyclic ligand based on a 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane platform containing four hydroxyethyl ...
    • Reinforced Ni(ɪɪ)-Cyclam Derivatives as Dual ¹H/¹⁹F MRI Probes 

      Pujales-Paradela, Rosa; Savic, Tanja; Brandariz, Isabel; Pérez-Lourido, Paulo; Angelovski, Goran; Esteban-Gómez, David; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-11)
      [Abstract] Reinforced cross-bridged Ni²⁺-cyclam complexes were functionalised with pendant arms containing both amide protons and CF₃ groups that lead to a dual ¹H/¹⁹F response. The resulting complexes possess very high ...
    • The relationship between NMR chemical shifts of thermally polarized and hyperpolarized 89Y complexes and their solution structures
