Gd(III) complexes have proven invaluable for blood pool and interstitial contrast, however their use as targeted intracellular paramagnetic reporters has been less successful. Paramagnetic ligands ideally must not only maintain low molecular weight but also possess favorable chemical properties to enable optimal biodistribution. To meet this challenge, we have investigated a new class of low molecular weight, high spin Fe(III) and Mn(II) chelate complexes based on pyrophosphate and bisphosphonate ligands, respectively, that demonstrate excellent chemical stability, strong relaxivity, and broad potential for derivatization and paramagnetic labeling.
