Abstract
Gd and Eu complexes of PMN-tetraacetic acid show interesting properties either for MRI or for optical imaging; that is, for the Gd-complex, a high proton relaxivity with favorable water residence time; for the Eu-complex, a luminescence lifetime of 400 μs at room temperature compatible with the use of time-resolved luminescence technique. Both complexes have a good stability in physiological medium.
