The self-assembly of supramolcular clusters of Gd(III) hydroxypyridinone complexes, templated by an Fe(III) terephthalamide center, is presented. The peripheral Gd(III) ions are each coordinated by two water molecules which exchange rapidly with the bulk solvent. These properties, along with the high rigidity of the supramolecules, efficiently increase the rotational correlation times of the cluster, resulting in high relaxivities at high magnetic fields and hence making these complexes good can ...[more]
