RhIII and IrIII can be complexed to bipyridine groups attached to the termini of bis(dioxaborine)-capped heptamethines; these chromophores exhibit large third-order polarisabilities at 1.55 μm, while retaining good film-forming properties and linear optical transparency in the near infrared.

In the design of dual-imaging probes, the first functionalized and neutral heterobimetallic Re(I)-Gd(III) complex, highly soluble in aqueous solutions, has been prepared. This system exhibits interesting photophysical properties (λem = 578 nm, φ = 1.4%) for optical imaging and substantial higher relaxivity (r1 = 6.6 mM-1 s -1 at 0.47 T and 37 C) than the clinically used MRI contrast agents. Moreover, this system incorporates an aromatic ester functionality suitable for bioconjugation.

A series of lanthanide complexes of [LnL(H2O)]2- composition where Ln = EuIII, TbIII or GdIII has been studied for determining their photophysical and relaxometric properties in aqueous solution. The bifunctional ligand L (H5BPMNTA) is an acyclic chelator based on a central functionalized 2,2′-bipyridine core and two iminodiacetate coordinating arms. The mono-aqua EuIII and TbIII complexes display attractive spectroscopic properties with an excitation wavelength at 316 nm, similar excited state lifetimes and overall quantum yields (in the ranges 0.5-0.6 ms and 10-13%, respectively) in Tris buffer (pH 7.4). The proton longitudinal relaxivity, r1, of the GdIII complex is 4.4 mM-1 s-1 at 20 MHz and 310 K, which is comparable to that of the clinically used Gd-DTPA (Magnevist). Interestingly, the water exchange rate between the coordination site and the bulk solvent is very fast (Kex = 2.6 × 108 s-1 at 310 K). The ability of the complex to bind non-covalently to human serum albumin (HSA) was also examined by relaxometric measurements. We also report the synthesis and properties of a bimetallic complex based on Gd-BPMNTA and ReI(bpy)(CO)3 components. In this system, the Re core exhibits interesting photophysical properties (λem = 588 nm, Φ = 1.4%) and the Gd-BPMNTA core displays improved relaxivity (r1 = 6.6 mM-1 s-1 at 20 MHz and 310 K), due to an increase of the rotational correlation time. Besides these appealing optical and relaxometric properties, the presence of a reactive function on the structure proposes this potential dual imaging probe for conjugation to biomolecules or nanomaterials.
