In this work,we describe a one-pot and aqueous-based
preparation of paramagnetic metal ion-block copolymer
complexes for potential use as MRIcontrast agent. The
pH-sensitive nature of soft particles was exploited in
response to neuronal uptake and subsequent transport of
Mn ions, which can be visualized by MRI.
