Abstract
A novel pyridine-containing DTPA-like ligand, carrying additional hydroxymethyl groups on the pyridine side-arms, was synthesized in 5 steps. The corresponding Gd(III) complex, potentially useful as an MRI contrast agent, was prepared and characterized in detail by relaxometric methods and its structure modeled by computational methods.
