| Summary: | This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and characterisation of altogether twenty 18- and 24-membered macrocyclic ligands, incorporating the pyridyl and phenolic substituents in the cavity, coupled with their lanthanide and transition metal complexes. Initially a survey of the synthesis and characteristics of related macrocycles is presented. The application of lanthanide metal complexes as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is discussed. |
