In this work, we describe a novel DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) based ligand with a chromophoric tropone coordinating sidearm (<b>1</b>). Ln<sup>3+</sup> complexes of <b>1</b> have one inner sphere water molecule. The r<sub>1</sub> relaxivity of Gd<b>1</b> is similar to that of the commercial Gd-based MRI agents. The neutral O-donor atom of the tropone moiety slows down the water exchange rate by a factor of 3 compared to GdDOTA. In addition, Nd<b>1</b> and Yb<b ...[more]
