Abstract
The rich coordination chemistry of lanthanoid ions (Ln3+) is currently exploited in a vast and continuously expanding array of applications. Chelating agents are central in the development of Ln3+-complexes and in tuning their physical and chemical properties. Most chelators for Ln3+-complexation are derived from the macrocyclic DOTA or from linear DTPA platforms, both of which arise from fossil-based starting materials. Herein, we report a green and efficient approach to a chelating agent (EHDTA), derived from cheap and largely available furfurylamine. The oxygenated heterocycle of the latter is converted to a stereochemically defined and rigid heptadentate chelator, which shows good affinity towards Ln3+ ions. A combination of NMR, relaxometric, potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques allows us to shed light on the interesting coordination chemistry of Ln3+-EHDTA complexes, unveiling a promising ligand for the chelation of this important family of metal ions.

Abstract
In the last 20 years, research in the field of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) contrast agents (CAs) has been intensified due to the emergence of a disease called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). NSF has been linked to the in vivo dissociation of certain Gd(III)-based compounds applied in MRI as CAs. To prevent the dechelation of the probes after intravenous injection, the improvement of their in vivo stability is highly desired. The inertness of the Gd(III) chelates can be increased through the rigidification of the ligand structure. One of the potential ligands is (2,2',2'',2'''-(([2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-diylbis(methylene))bis(azanetriyl))tetraacetic acid) (H4DIPTA), which has been successfully used as a fluorescent probe for lanthanides; however, it has never been considered as a potential chelator for Gd(III) ions. In this paper, we report the thermodynamic, kinetic and structural features of the complex formed between Gd(III) and DIPTA. Since the solubility of the [Gd(DIPTA)]- chelate is very low under acidic conditions, hampering its thermodynamic characterization, we can only assume that its stability is close to that determined for the structural analogue [Gd(FENTA)]- (H4FENTA: (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)bis(methyliminodiacetic acid)), which is similar to that determined for the agent [Gd(DTPA)]2- routinely used in clinical practice. Unfortunately, the inertness of [Gd(DIPTA)]- is significantly lower (t1/2 = 1.34 h) than that observed for [Gd(EGTA)]- and [Gd(DTPA)]2- as a result of its spontaneous dissociation pathway during dechelation. The relaxivity values of [Gd(DIPTA)]- are comparable with those of [Gd(FENTA)]- and somewhat higher than the values characterizing [Gd(DTPA)]2-. Luminescence lifetime measurements indicate the presence of one water molecule (q = 1) in the inner sphere of the complex with a relatively high water exchange rate (k298ex = 43(5) × 106 s-1). DFT calculations suggest a rigid distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic polyhedron for the Gd(III) complex. On the basis of these results, we can conclude that the bipyridine backbone is not favourable with respect to the inertness of the chelate.

Abstract
In this work the chemistry of yttrium complexes is exploited for small molecule capture and activation. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and density functional theory (DFT) studies were used to investigate the in situ formation of solution state ternary yttrium-acetate, yttrium-bicarbonate, and yttrium-pyruvate adducts with a range of polyaminocarboxylate chelates. These studies reveal that [Y(DO3A)(H2 O)2 ] (H3 DO3A - 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-tricarboxylic acid) and [Y(EDTA)(H2 O)q ]- (H4 EDTA - ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, q = 2 and 3) are able to form ternary adducts with bicarbonate and pyruvate. In the latter, unusual decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetic acid and CO2 was observed and further studied using SABRE-hyperpolarised 13 C NMR (SABRE - signal amplification by reversible exchange) to provide information about the reaction timescale and lifetime of intermediates involved in this conversion. The work presented demonstrates that yttrium complexes can capture and activate small molecules, which may lead to novel and useful applications of this metal in catalysis and medical imaging.

Abstract
![]()
We present a quantitative analysis of the thermodynamic
stabilities
of Mn(II) complexes, defined by the equilibrium constants (log KMnL values) and the values of pMn obtained as
−log[Mn]free for total metal and ligand concentrations
of 1 and 10 μM, respectively. We used structural descriptors
to analyze the contributions to complex stability of different structural
motifs in a quantitative way. The experimental log KMnL and pMn values can be predicted to a good accuracy
by adding the contributions of the different motifs present in the
ligand structure. This allowed for the identification of features
that provide larger contributions to complex stability, which will
be very helpful for the design of efficient chelators for Mn(II) complexation.
This issue is particularly important to develop Mn(II) complexes for
medical applications, for instance, as magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) contrast agents. The analysis performed here also indicates
that coordination number eight is more common for Mn(II) than is generally
assumed, with the highest log KMnL values generally observed for hepta- and octadentate ligands. The
X-ray crystal structure of [Mn2(DOTA)(H2O)2], in which eight-coordinate [Mn(DOTA)]2– units are bridged by six-coordinate exocyclic Mn(II) ions, is also
reported. We present empirical relationships
that allow estimating
the log K and pMn values of Mn(II) complexes
relevant as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The prediction of complex stability with these expressions relies
on structural descriptors, providing a very powerful tool to aid with
ligand design.

Abstract
The discovery of the nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) and its link with the in vivo dissociation of certain Gd(III)-based contrast agents (CAs) applied in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) induced a still growing research to replace the compromised agents with safer alternatives. In recent years, several ligands were designed to exploit the luminescence properties of the lanthanides, containing structurally constrained aromatic moieties, which may form rigid Gd(III) complexes. One of these ligands is (1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)bis(methyliminodiacetic acid) (H4FENTA) designed and synthesized to sensitize Eu(III) and Tb(III) luminescence. Our results show that the conditional stability of the [Gd(FENTA)]- chelate calculated for physiological pH (pGd = 19.7) is similar to those determined for [Gd(DTPA)]2- (pGd = 19.4) and [Gd(DOTA)]- (pGd = 20.1), routinely used in the clinical practice. The [Gd(FENTA)]- complex is remarkably inert with respect to its dissociation (t1/2 = 872 days at pH = 7 and 25 °C); furthermore, its relaxivity values determined at different field strengths and temperatures (e.g., r1p = 4.3 mM-1s-1at 60 MHz and 37 °C) are ca. one unit higher than those of [Gd(DTPA)]2- (r1p = 3.4 mM-1 s-1) and [Gd(DOTA)]- (r1p = 3.1 mM-1 s-1) under the same conditions. Moreover, significant improvement on the relaxivity was observed in the presence of serum proteins (r1p = 6.9 mM-1 s-1 at 60 MHz and 37 °C). The luminescence lifetimes recorded in H2O and D2O solutions indicate the presence of a water molecule (q = 1) in the inner sphere of the complex directly coordinated to the metal ion, possessing a relatively high water exchange rate (kex298 = 29(2) × 106 s-1). The acceleration of the water exchange can be explained by the steric compression around the water binding site due to the rigid structure of the complex, which was supported by DFT calculations. On the basis of these results, ligands containing a phenanthroline platform have great potential in the design of safer Gd(III) agents for MRI.

Abstract
Series of lanthanide-containing metallic coordination complexes are frequently presented as structurally analogous, due to the similar chemical and coordinative properties of the lanthanides. In the case of chiral (LnIII [15-MC Cu II N(L-pheHA) -5])3+ metallacrowns (MCs), which are well established supramolecular hosts, the formation of dimers templated by a dicarboxylate guest (muconate) in solution of neutral pH is herein shown to have a unique dependence on the identity of the MC's central lanthanide. Calorimetric data and nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion studies demonstrate that MCs containing larger or smaller lanthanides as the central metal only form monomeric host-guest complexes whereas analogues with intermediate lanthanides (for example, Eu, Gd, Dy) participate in formation of dimeric host-guest-host compartments. The driving force for the dimerization event across the series is thought to be a competition between formation of highly stable MCs (larger lanthanides) and optimally linked bridging guests (smaller lanthanides).

Abstract
Lanthanides (Ln3+) are critical materials used for many important applications, often in the form of coordination compounds. Tuning the thermodynamic stability of these compounds is a general concern, which is not readily achieved due to the similar coordination chemistry of lanthanides. Herein, we report two 18-membered macrocyclic ligands called macrodipa and macrotripa that show for the first time a dual selectivity toward both the light, large Ln3+ ions and the heavy, small Ln3+ ions, as determined by potentiometric titrations. The lanthanide complexes of these ligands were investigated by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, which revealed the occurrence of a significant conformational toggle between a 10-coordinate Conformation A and an 8-coordinate Conformation B that accommodates Ln3+ ions of different sizes. The origin of this selectivity pattern was further supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which show the complementary effects of ligand strain energy and metal-ligand binding energy that contribute to this conformational switch. This work demonstrates how novel ligand design strategies can be applied to tune the selectivity pattern for the Ln3+ ions.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of the macrocyclic ligand 2,2'-((2-(3,9-bis(carboxymethyl)-3,6,9-triaza-1(2,6)-pyridinacyclodecaphane-6-yl)ethyl)azanediyl)diacetic acid (H4L) and several of its complexes with lanthanide ions. The structure of the free ligand was determined using X-ray diffraction measurements. Two N atoms of the pyclen moiety in the trans position are protonated in the solid state, together with the exocyclic N atom and one of the carboxylate groups of the ligand. The relaxivity of the Gd3+ complex was found to increase from 6.7 mM-1 s-1 at pH 8.6 to 8.5 mM-1 s-1 below pH ≈ 6.0. Luminescence lifetime measurements recorded from H2O and D2O solutions of the Eu3+ complex evidence the presence of a single complex species in solution at low pH (∼5.0) that contains two inner-sphere water molecules. DFT calculations suggest that the coordination environment of the Ln3+ ion is fulfilled by the four N atoms of the pyclen unit, two oxygen atoms of the macrocyclic acetate groups, and an oxygen atom of an exocyclic carboxylate group. The two inner-sphere water molecules complete coordination number nine around the metal ion. At high pH (∼9.3), the lifetime of the excited 5D0 level of Eu3+ displays a biexponential behavior that can be attributed to the presence of two species in solution with hydration numbers of q = 0 and q = 1. The 1H NMR and DOSY spectra recorded from solutions of the Eu3+ and Y3+ complexes reveal a structural change triggered by pH and the formation of small aggregates at high pH values.

Abstract
The use of luminescence in biological systems allows one to diagnose diseases and understand cellular processes. Molecular systems, particularly lanthanide(III) complexes, have emerged as an attractive system for application in cellular luminescence imaging due to their long emission lifetimes, high brightness, possibility of controlling the spectroscopic properties at the molecular level, and tailoring of the ligand structure that adds sensing and therapeutic capabilities. This review aims to provide a background in luminescence imaging and lanthanide spectroscopy and discuss selected examples from the recent literature on lanthanide(III) luminescent complexes in cellular luminescence imaging, published in the period 2016-2020. Finally, the challenges and future directions that are pointing for the development of compounds that are capable of executing multiple functions and the use of light in regions where tissues and cells have low absorption will be discussed.

Abstract
Coordination compounds of the lanthanide ions (Ln3+) have important applications in medicine due to their photophysical, magnetic, and nuclear properties. To effectively use the Ln3+ ions for these applications, chelators that stably bind them in vivo are required to prevent toxic side effects that arise from localization of these ions in off-target tissue. In this study, two new picolinate-containing chelators, a heptadentate ligand OxyMepa and a nonadentate ligand Oxyaapa, were prepared, and their coordination chemistries with Ln3+ ions were thoroughly investigated to evaluate their suitability for use in medicine. Protonation constants of these chelators and stability constants for their Ln3+ complexes were evaluated. Both ligands exhibit a thermodynamic preference for small Ln3+ ions. The log KLuL = 12.21 and 21.49 for OxyMepa and Oxyaapa, respectively, indicating that the nonadentate Oxyaapa forms complexes of significantly higher stability than the heptadentate OxyMepa. X-ray crystal structures of the Lu3+ complexes were obtained, revealing that Oxyaapa saturates the coordination sphere of Lu3+, whereas OxyMepa leaves an additional open coordination site for a bound water ligand. Solution structural studies carried out with NMR spectroscopy revealed the presence of two possible conformations for these ligands upon Ln3+ binding. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to probe the geometries and energies of these conformations. Energy differences obtained by DFT are small but consistent with experimental data. The photophysical properties of the Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes were characterized, revealing modest photoluminescent quantum yields of <2%. Luminescence lifetime measurements were carried out in H2O and D2O, showing that the Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes of OxyMepa have two inner-sphere water ligands, whereas the Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes of Oxyaapa have zero. Lastly, variable-temperature 17O NMR spectroscopy was performed for the Gd-OxyMepa complex to determine its water exchange rate constant of kex298 = (2.8 ± 0.1) × 106 s-1. Collectively, this comprehensive characterization of these Ln3+ chelators provides valuable insight for their potential use in medicine and garners additional understanding of ligand design strategies.

Abstract
Prompted by the favourable relaxometric, thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the bis-hydrated Gd(OBETA) (OBETA=2,2'-oxybis(ethylamine)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid) complex, a novel derivative tailored with an n-hexadecyl chain was synthesised. The amphiphilic gadolinium complex was designed and prepared with the aim of obtaining high relaxivity supramolecular aggregates by self-assembly in micelles and liposomes. Thus, lipidic nanoparticles were prepared and characterised by dynamic light scattering and 1 H NMR relaxometry. Relaxivity values of up to 48.3 mm-1 s-1 (20 MHz and 298 K) were registered in liposomal aggregates. The binding to human serum albumin (HSA), evaluated both in terms of affinity and relaxometric properties of the supramolecular adduct, yielded exceptionally high relaxivity values (71.4 mm-1 s-1 at 30 MHz and 298 K).

Abstract
We report a series of ligands containing pentadentate 6,6′-((methylazanediyl)bis(methylene))dipicolinic acid binding units that form mono- (H2dpama), di- (mX(H2dpama)2), and trinuclear (mX(H2dpama)3) complexes with Mn2+ containing two coordinated water molecules per metal ion, which results in pentagonal bipyramidal coordination around the metal ions. In contrast, the hexadentate ligand 6,6′-((ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(methylene))dipicolinic acid (H2bcpe) forms a complex with distorted octahedral coordination around Mn2+ that lacks coordinated water molecules. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the Mn2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ complexes were determined using potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations in 0.15 M NaCl. The pentadentate dpama2– ligand and the di- and trinucleating mX(dpama)24– and mX(dpama)36– ligands provide metal complexes with stabilities that are very similar to that of the complex with the hexadentate ligand bcpe2–, with log β101 values in the range 10.1–11.6. Cyclic voltammetry experiments on aqueous solutions of the [Mn(bcpe)] complex reveal a quasireversible system with a half-wave potential of +595 mV versus Ag/AgCl. However, [Mn(dpama)] did not suffer oxidation in the range 0.0–1.0 V, revealing a higher resistance toward oxidation. A detailed 1H NMRD and 17O NMR study provided insight into the parameters that govern the relaxivity for these systems. The exchange rate of the coordinated water molecules in [Mn(dpama)] is relatively fast, kex298 = (3.06 ± 0.16) × 108 s–1. The trinuclear [mX(Mn(dpama)(H2O)2)3] complex was found to bind human serum albumin with an association constant of 1286 ± 55 M–1 and a relaxivity of the adduct of 45.2 ± 0.6 mM–1 s–1 at 310 K and 20 MHz.
