In vitro characterization of an Fe 8 cluster as potential MRI contrast agent

The complex [(tacn) 6 Fe 8 (µ 3 ‐O) 2 (µ 2 ‐OH) 12 ]Br 8 ·9H 2 O (Fe 8 ) was evaluated in vitro as a new kind of possible MRI contrast agent. Relaxivities were measured at 1.41 and 9.4 T for Fe 8 and commercial Gd‐DTPA dissolved in PBS. There was significant difference for r 1 and r 2 values between...

Zusammenfassung:The complex [(tacn) 6 Fe 8 (µ 3 ‐O) 2 (µ 2 ‐OH) 12 ]Br 8 ·9H 2 O (Fe 8 ) was evaluated in vitro as a new kind of possible MRI contrast agent. Relaxivities were measured at 1.41 and 9.4 T for Fe 8 and commercial Gd‐DTPA dissolved in PBS. There was significant difference for r 1 and r 2 values between Fe 8 and Gd‐DTPA at high field (9.4 T) and for r 1 at low field (1.4 T) ( p
