Abstract
19F parashift probes with paramagnetically shifted reporter nuclei provide attractive platforms to develop molecular imaging probes. These probes enable ratiometric detection of molecular disease markers using a direct detection technique. Here, we describe a series of trivalent lanthanide (Ln(III)) complexes that are structural analogues of the clinically approved MR contrast agent (CA) ProHance to obtain LnL 19F parashift probes. We evaluated trans-gadolinium paramagnetic lanthanides compared to diamagnetic YL for 19F chemical shift and relaxation rate enhancement. The paramagnetic contribution to chemical shift (δPCS) for paramagnetic LnL exhibited either shifts to lower frequency (δPCS < 0 for TbL, DyL, and HoL) or shifts to higher frequency (δPCS > 0 for ErL, TmL, and YbL) compared to YL 19F spectroscopic signal. Zero-echo time pulse sequences achieved 56-fold sensitivity enhancement for DyL over YL, while developing probe-specific pulse sequences with fast delay times and acquisition times achieved 0.6-fold enhancement in limit of detection for DyL. DyL provides an attractive platform to develop 19F parashift probes for ratiometric detection of enzymatic activity.

Abstract
Complexes of lanthanide(iii) ions (Ln) with tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetate (DOTA) are a benchmark in the field of magnetism due to their well-investigated and sometimes surprising features. Ab initio calculations suggest that the ninth ligand, an axial water molecule, is key in defining the magnetic properties because it breaks the potential C4 symmetry of the resulting complexes. In this paper, we experimentally isolate the role of the water molecule by excluding it from the metal coordination sphere without altering the chemical structure of the ligand. Our complexes are therefore designed to be geometrically tetragonal and strict crystallographic symmetry is achieved by exploiting a combination of solution ionic strength and solid state packing effects. A thorough multitechnique approach has been used to unravel the electronic structure and magnetic anisotropy of the complexes. Moreover, the geometry enhancement allows us to predict, using only one angle obtained from the crystal structure, the ground state composition of all the studied derivatives (Ln = Tb to Yb). Therefore, these systems also provide an excellent platform to test the validity and limitations of the ab initio methods. Our combined experimental and theoretical investigation proves that the water molecule is indeed key in defining the magnetic anisotropy and the slow relaxation of these complexes.

Abstract
Enhancement of axial magnetic anisotropy is the central objective to push forward the performance of Single-Molecule Magnet (SMM) complexes. In the case of mononuclear lanthanide complexes, the chemical environment around the paramagnetic ion must be tuned to place strongly interacting ligands along either the axial positions or the equatorial plane, depending on the oblate or prolate preference of the selected lanthanide. One classical strategy to achieve a precise chemical environment for a metal centre is using highly structured, chelating ligands. A natural approach for axial-equatorial control is the employment of macrocycles acting in a belt conformation, providing the equatorial coordination environment, and leaving room for axial ligands. In this review, we present a survey of SMMs based on the macrocycle belt motif. Literature systems are divided in three families (crown ether, Schiff-base and metallacrown) and their general properties in terms of structural stability and SMM performance are briefly discussed.

NMR Relaxivities of Paramagnetic, Ultra-High Spin Heterometallic Clusters within Polyoxometalate Matrix as a Function of Solvent and Metal Ion. Chemphyschem 2022; 23:e202200215.

Abstract
Selectivity and image contrast are always challenging in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are - inter alia - addressed by contrast agents. These compounds still need to be improved, and their relaxation properties, i. e., their paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE), needs to be understood. The main goal is to improve specificity and relaxivities, especially at the high magnetic fields currently exploited not only in material science but also in the medical environment. Longitudinal and transverse relaxivities, r1 and r2 , which correspond to the longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates R1 and R2, normalized to the concentration of the paramagnetic moieties, need to be considered because both contribute to the image contrast. 1 H-relaxivities r1 and r2 of high-spin heterometallic clusters were studied containing lanthanide and transition-metal ions within a polyoxometalate matrix. A wide range of magnetic fields from 0.5 T/20 MHz to 33 T/1.4 GHz was applied. The questions addressed here concern the rotational and diffusion correlation times which determine the relaxivities and are affected by the solvent's viscosity. Moreover, the variation of the lanthanide and transition-metal ions of the clusters provided insights into the sensitivity of PRE with respect to the electron spin properties of the paramagnetic centers as well as cooperative effects between lanthanides and transition metal ions.
