Abstract
We present a detailed relaxometric and computational investigation of three Gd(III) complexes that exist in solution as an equilibrium of two species with a different number of coordinated water molecules: [Gd(H2O)q]3+ (q = 8, 9), [Gd(EDTA)(H2O)q]- and [Gd(CDTA)(H2O)q]- (q = 2, 3). 1H nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) data were recorded from aqueous solutions of these complexes using a wide Larmor frequency range (0.01-500 MHz). These data were complemented with 17O transverse relaxation rates and chemical shifts recorded at different temperatures. The simultaneous fit of the NMRD and 17O NMR data was guided by computational studies performed at the DFT and CASSCF/NEVPT2 levels, which provided information on Gd⋯H distances, 17O hyperfine coupling constants and the zero-field splitting (ZFS) energy, which affects electronic relaxation. The hydration equilibrium did not have a very important effect in the fits of the experimental data for [Gd(H2O)q]3+ and [Gd(CDTA)(H2O)q]-, as the hydration equilibrium is largely shifted to the species with the lowest hydration number (q = 8 and 2, respectively). The quality of the analysis improves however considerably for [Gd(EDTA)(H2O)q]- upon considering the effect of the hydration equilibrium. As a result, this study provides for the first time an analysis of the relaxation properties of this important model system, as well as accurate parameters for [Gd(H2O)q]3+ and [Gd(CDTA)(H2O)q]-.

Abstract
We study reactivity and leaching at the calcium sodium borosilicate (CNBS)–water interface by means of a Car–Parrinello ab initio molecular dynamics simulation over a simulation time of 100 ps. With an emphasis on the comparison between the behaviors of Ca2+ and Na+ cations at the CNBS glass–water interface, different mechanism events during the trajectory are revealed, discussed, and correlated with other density functional theory calculations. We show that Na+ ions can be released in solution, while Ca2+ cannot leave the surface of CNBS glass. This release is correlated with the vacancy energy of Ca2+ and Na+ cations. Here, we found that the CNBS structure with the Na+ cation vacancy is energetically more favorable than the structure with the Ca2+ cation vacancy. The calcium adsorption site has been shown to have a greater affinity for water than can be found in the case of the sodium site, demonstrating that affinity may not be considered a major factor controlling the release of cations from the glass to the solution.

Abstract
Investigating the relaxation of water 1H nuclei induced by paramagnetic Mn(II) complexes is important to understand the mechanisms that control the efficiency of contrast agents used in diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, a series of potentially hexadentate triazacyclononane (TACN) derivatives containing different pendant arms were designed to explore the relaxation of the electron spin in the corresponding Mn(II) complexes by using a combination of 1H NMR relaxometry and theoretical calculations. These ligands include 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (H3NOTA) and three derivatives in which an acetate group is replaced by sulfonamide (H3NO2ASAm), amide (H2NO2AM), or pyridyl (H2NO2APy) pendants. The analogue of H3NOTA containing three propionate pendant arms (H3NOTPrA) was also investigated. The X-ray structure of the derivative containing two acetate groups and a sulfonamide pendant arm [Mn(NO2ASAm)]- evidenced six-coordination of the ligand to the metal ion, with the coordination polyhedron being close to a trigonal prism. The relaxivities of all complexes at 20 MHz and 25 °C (1.1-1.3 mM-1 s-1) are typical of systems that lack water molecules coordinated to the metal ion. The nuclear magnetic relaxation profiles evidence significant differences in the relaxivities of the complexes at low fields (<1 MHz), which are associated with different spin relaxation rates. The zero field splitting (ZFS) parameters calculated by using DFT and CASSCF methods show that electronic relaxation is relatively insensitive to the nature of the donor atoms. However, the twist angle of the two tripodal faces that delineate the coordination polyhedron, defined by the N atoms of the TACN unit (lower face) and the donor atoms of the pendant arms (upper face), has an important effect in the ZFS parameters. A twist angle close to the ideal value for an octahedral coordination (60°), such as that in [Mn(NOTPrA)]-, leads to a small ZFS energy, whereas this value increases as the coordination polyhedron approaches to a trigonal prism.

Abstract
The heptadentate ligand L was shown to form an extremely stable Gd complex at neutral pH with a pGd value of 18.4 at pH 7.4. The X-ray crystal structures of the complexes formed with Gd and Tb displayed two very different coordination behaviors being, respectively, octa- and nonacoordinated. The relaxometric properties of the Gd complex were studied by field-dependent relaxivity measurements at various temperatures and by 17 O NMR spectroscopy. The pH-dependence of the longitudinal relaxivity profile indicated large changes around neutral pH leading to a very large value of 10.1 mm-1 ⋅s-1 (60 MHz, 298 K) at pH 4.7. The changes were attributed to an increase of the hydration number from one water molecule in basic conditions to two at acidic pH. A similar trend was observed for the luminescence of the Eu complex, confirming the change in hydration state. DOSY experiments were performed on the Lu analogue, pointing to the absence of dimers in solution in the considered pH range. A breathing mode of the complex was postulated, which was further supported by 1 H and 31 P NMR spectroscopy of the Yb complex at varying pH and was finally modeled by DFT calculations.

Abstract
We report a pentadentate ligand containing a 2,2'-azanediyldiacetic acid moiety functionalized with a picolinate group at the nitrogen atom (H3paada), as well as a lipophylic derivative functionalized with a dodecyloxy group at position 4 of the pyridyl ring (H3C12Opaada). The protonation constants of the paada3- ligand and the stability constant of the Mn(ii) complex were determined using a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations (25 °C, 0.15 M NaCl). A detailed relaxometric characterisation was accomplished by recording 1H Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Dispersion (NMRD) profiles and 17O chemical shifts and relaxation rates. These studies provide detailed information on the microscopic parameters that control their efficiency as relaxation agents in vitro. For the sake of completeness and to facilitate comparison, we also characterised the related [Mn(nta)]- complex (nta = nitrilotriacetate). Both the [Mn(paada)]- and [Mn(nta)]- complexes turned out to contain two inner-sphere water molecules in aqueous solution. The exchange rate of these coordinated water molecules was slower in [Mn(paada)]- (k298ex = 90 × 107 s-1) than in [Mn(nta)]- (k298ex = 280 × 107 s-1). The complexes were also characterised using both DFT (TPSSh/def2-TZVP) and ab initio CAS(5,5) calculations. The lipophylic [Mn(C12Opaada)]- complex forms micelles in solution characterised by a critical micellar concentration (cmc) of 0.31 ± 0.01 mM. This complex also forms a rather strong adduct with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) with an association constant of 5.5 × 104 M-1 at 25 °C. The enthalpy and entropy changes obtained for the formation of the adduct indicate that the binding event is driven by hydrophobic interactions.
