Steric control of lanthanide hydration state: fast water exchange at gadolinium in a mono-amide ‘DOTA’ complex
Abstract
Detailed analyses of the solution structure and exchange dynamics of two sets of homologous mono-amide triacetate lanthanide complexes (Ln = Eu, Gd) of cyclen have been undertaken. The complex [LnL1], bearing an N-linked CH2CH2NHCO–
