Effective diagnosis of disease and itsp rogression can be aided by 19 Fm agnetic resonance imaging(MRI) techniques. Specifically,t he inherent sensitivity of the spin-lattice relaxationt ime (T 1)o f 19 Fn uclei to oxygen partial pressure makes 19 FMRI an attractive non-invasive approach to quantify tissue oxygenation in as patiotemporal manner. However,t here are only few materials with the adequate sensitivity to be used as oxygen-sensitive 19 FMRI agentsa t clinically relevant field strengths. Motivated by the limitations in current technologies, we reporth ighly fluorinated monomerst hat provide ap latform approach to realize water-soluble, partially fluorinated copolymers as 19 FMRI agents with the required sensitivityt oq uantify solution oxygenation at clinically relevant magnetic field strengths. The synthesis of as ystematic library of partially fluorinated co-polymers enabled ac omprehensive evaluationo fc opolymer structure-property relationships relevant to 19 FMRI. The highest-performing materialc ompositiond emonstrated a signal-to-noise ratio that corresponded to an apparent 19 F density of 220 mm,w hich surpasses the threshold of 126 mm 19 Fr equired for visualization on at hree Tesla clinical MRI. Furthermore, the T 1 of these high performing materials demonstrated al inear relationship with solution oxygenation, with oxygen sensitivity reaching 240 10 À5 mmHg À1 s À1. The relationships between material composition and 19 FMRI performance identified herein suggest general structureproperty criteria for the furtheri mprovement of modular, water-soluble 19 FMRI agents for quantifying oxygenation in environments relevant to medical imaging.
