Abstract
Lanthanide-based macrocycles are successfully incorporated into hybrid polyionic complexes, formed by adding a mixture of zirconium ions to a solution of a double-hydrophilic block copolymer. The resulting nanoobjects with an average radius of approximately 10-15 nm present good colloidal and chemical stability in physiological media even in the presence of competing ions such as phosphate or calcium ions. The final optical and magnetic properties of these objects benefit from both their colloidal nature and the specific properties of the complexes. Hence these new nanocarriers exhibit enhanced T1 MRI contrast, when administered intravenously to mice.

Abstract
The potential application of magnetic nanosystems as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents has been thoroughly investigated. This work seeks to attain robust MRI-contrast efficiency by designing an interacting landscape of a bimagnetic ensemble of zinc ferrite nanorods and maghemite nanoparticles, γ-Fe2O3@ZnFe2O4. Because of competing spin clusters and structural anisotropy triggered by isotropic γ-Fe2O3 and anisotropic ZnFe2O4, γ-Fe2O3@ZnFe2O4 undergoes the evolution of cluster spin-glass state as evident from the critical slowing down law. Such interacting γ-Fe2O3@ZnFe2O4 with spin flipping of 1.2 × 10-8 s and energy barrier of 8.2 × 10-14 erg reflects enhanced MRI-contrast signal. Additionally, γ-Fe2O3@ZnFe2O4 is cell-viable to noncancerous HEK 293 cell-line and shows no pro-tumorigenic activity as observed in MDA-MB-231, an extremely aggressive triple-negative breast cancer cell line. As a result, γ-Fe2O3@ZnFe2O4 is a feasible option for an MRI-contrast agent having longitudinal relaxivity, r1, of 0.46 s-1mM-1 and transverse relaxivity, r2, of 15.94 s-1mM-1, together with r2/r1 of 34.65 at 1.41 T up to a modest metal concentration of 0.1 mM. Hence, this study addresses an interacting isotropic/anisotropic framework with faster water proton decay in MR-relaxivity resulting in phantom signal amplification.
