Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of a prototype single molecule dual imaging agent comprising a heterobimetallic rhenium-gadolinium complex.
A luminescent d-f hybrid containing a [Re(bpy)(Ar)(CO)3]+ chromophore and a gadolinium ion bound in a DO3A-derived binding pocket has been prepared. This complex combines long-lived luminescence from the 3MLCT state of the transition metal chromophore with high relaxivity, making it suitable for MRI...
