Dependence of the relaxivity and luminescence of gadolinium and europium amino-acid complexes on hydrogencarbonate and pH

Abstract

Reversible binding of hydrogencarbonate to a chiral di-aqua lanthanide complex occurs in the pH range 6.5–8.5, limiting the measured relaxivity in the gadolinium complex and enhancing the metal-based emission in the europium analogue.
