As an essential metal ion and an efficient relaxation agent, Mn2+ holds a great promise to
replace Gd3+ in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent applications, if its stable …

While MnII complexes meet increasing interest in biomedical applications, ligands are
lacking that enable high MnII complex stability and selectivity vs. ZnII, the most relevant …

Molecular imaging offers the possibility to investigate biological and biochemical processes
non-invasively and to obtain information on both anatomy and dysfunctions. Based on the …

We report a nonadentate bispidine (3, 7-diazabicyclo [3.3. 1] nonane) that unveils the
potential to bind theranostically relevant radionuclides, including indium-111, lutetium-177 …

Abstract Lanthanides (Ln (III)) based compounds as light-emitting materials have emerged
as successful agents in high-performance defense and lighting systems, magnets, bio …

Two new octa-coordinated ternary europium (III) complexes of the type [Eu (btfa) 3 (Br 2-
bpy)](Eu-1) and [Eu (btfa) 3 (PhE 2-bpy)](Eu-2)(where btfa= 4, 4, 4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1, 3 …

Octadentate and specifically nonadentate ligands with a bispidine scaffold (3, 7-diazabicyclo
[3.3. 1] nonane) are known to be efficiently coordinated to a range of metal ions of interest in …

Owing to the importance of lanthanides (Lns), sustainable recovery of low-concentration Lns
from secondary resources is a challenge of great significance. Herein, a strategy to construct …

With their rigid and preorganized skeleton, bispidine (3, 7-diazabicyclo [3.3. 1] nonane)
chelators are very appealing for the preparation of metal complexes with high kinetic …

Facile access to site-selective hetero-lanthanide molecules will open new avenues in the
search of novel photophysical phenomena based on Ln-to-Ln′ energy transfer (ET). This …
