Early studies suggested that Fe<sup>III</sup> complexes cannot compete with Gd<sup>III</sup> complexes as T<sub>1</sub> MRI contrast agents. Now it is shown that one member of a class of high-spin macrocyclic Fe<sup>III</sup> complexes produces more intense contrast in mice kidneys and liver at 30 minutes post-injection than does a commercially used Gd<sup>III</sup> agent and also produces similar T<sub>1</sub> relaxivity in serum phantoms at 4.7 T and 37 °C. Comparison of four different Fe<sup> ...[more]
