Gd^III and Ga^III complexes with a new tris-3,4-HOPO ligand as new imaging probes: complex stability, magnetic properties and biodistribution

Abstract

The development of metal-based multimodal imaging probes is a highly chalenging field in coordination chemistry. In this context, we have developed a bifunctonal hexadentate tripodal ligand (H3L2), with three 3,4-HOPO...

Coordination-Regulated Terpyridine–Mn(II) Complexes for Photodynamic Therapy Guided by Multiphoton Fluorescence/Magnetic Resonance Imaging

“…In this context, less toxic and biofriendly Mn­(II) complexes have been the focus of the development of next-generation MRI CAs. , Naturally, Mn­(II) also exhibits toxicity when applied to high concentrations; therefore, Mn­(II) complexes must be stable and inert. Tóth et al studied the stability and magnetic properties of magnetic complexes and achieved rich results and provided researchers with testing methods. − Three-photon absorption (3PA) materials have made significant progress, especially after the introduction of transition metal centers in 3PA materials, promoting electron transfer and improving nonlinear optical (NLO) activity. , We assumed that manganese complexes have multiphoton absorption properties (long-wave excitation and short-wave emission), thereby providing a deeper tissue penetration depth, which will reduce the damage of light to the tissue and improve the imaging resolution …”

Hydroxypyridinone based chelators: a molecular tool for fluorescence sensing and sensitization

“…A 3,4-HOPO-based tripodal ligand 33 (Fig. 14) was designed and developed by Chaves et al 62 The coordination behavior of ligand 33 was studied towards Gd 3+ and Ga 3+ through solution thermodynamics. Results from the potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations suggested the formation of 1 : 1 metal–ligand complexes with the Ga 3+ complex having higher stability than the Gd 3+ complex (log β = 14.3 for Gd 3+ and log β = 26.2 for Ga 3+ ).…”
