Inner-sphere Water Molecules (inner-sphere + water_molecule)
Selected AbstractsHow to determine the number of inner-sphere water molecules in Lanthanide(III) complexes by 17O NMR spectroscopy.CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING, Issue 2 2007A technical note Abstract Lanthanide(III) complexes of polyaminocarboxylates are widely used in MRI as contrast agents. The paramagnetic properties of the metal ion contribute to the increase of 1H relaxation rates, while the chelate offers a stable binding with the metal. The number of water molecules, coordinated directly to the Ln(III) ion, is very important for the relaxivity and, thus, the efficacy of these contrast agents. Here, we describe convenient methods to determine this parameter by measurement of Ln(III)-induced shifts of the water 17O NMR resonance. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Lanthanide-Based Conjugates as Polyvalent Probes for Biological LabelingEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2008Stéphanie Claudel-Gillet Abstract A series of lanthanide complexes of [LnL(H2O)] composition, suitable for biological labeling has been studied, in which L is a strongly chelating ligand containing chromophoric bipyridylcarboxylate units and Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy. For the Gd complex, a combined 17O NMR and 1H NMRD study has been performed. The water exchange rate obtained, kex298 = (5.2,±,0.6),×,106 s,1, is slightly higher than those for [Gd(dota)(H2O)], or [Gd(dtpa)(H2O)]2,. Transformation of the uncoordinated carboxylate function of the ligand into an activated ester ensures covalent linking of the complex to bovine serum albumine (BSA). The relaxivity properties of the Gd complex labeled on BSA revealed a limited increase of both longitudinal and transversal relaxivities. This can be related to the partial replacement of the inner-sphere water molecules by coordinating functions of the protein. Additionally, the Sm and Dy complexes are described and chemically characterized. Their photophysical properties were investigated by means of absorption, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, evidencing efficient photosensitization of the lanthanide emission by ligand excitation (antenna effect). Luminescence lifetime measurements confirmed the presence of a water molecule in the first coordination sphere that partly explained the relatively poor luminescence properties of the Dy and Sm complexes in aqueous solutions. The spectroscopic properties of the series of complexes are questioned in terms of time-resolved acquisition techniques. Finally, their availability for use in time-resolved luminescence microscopy is demonstrated by staining experiments of rat brain slices, where the complex showed enhanced localization in some hydrophilic regions of the blood,brain barrier (BBB).(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Each [Gd(1)(DOTP)]5, anion binds directly to four Na+ ions of this cluster through the free oxygen atoms of the phosphonate groups of the adjacent ligand, while each [Gd(2)(DOTP)]5, unit is connected to the cluster via hydrogen bonds only. The Gd3+ ions in the two moieties do not have any inner-sphere water molecules, and are eight-coordinate. Their coordination polyhedra are twisted square antiprisms, with slightly different twist angles. These m, isomers are found in the crystal structure as racemic mixtures of enantiomers. Only one set of NMR resonances is observed in aqueous solution, corresponding to an averaged m, isomer. In this crystal structure, the Na+ ions bind the phosphonate oxygen atoms of the [Gd(1)(DOTP)]5, anion at positions far removed from the main symmetry axis. This is significantly different from the binding mode(s) previously proposed to be occurring in solution between Na+ and [Tm(DOTP)]5,, based on the interpretation of solution paramagnetic 23Na NMR shifts. This could arise as a result of the effects of the cluster of hydrated Na+ ions that are present, which may hinder axial binding modes and distort lateral binding modes. Further, in the crystal structure, both types of Gd3+ centers have four second-sphere water molecules that are located at distances (4.2,4.5 Å) significantly longer than those previously proposed from the analysis of the NMRD data of [Gd(1)(DOTP)]5,. This is a result of the coordination of Na+ by these water molecules, thus preventing their direct interaction with the phosphonate oxygen atoms. However, in solution such second-sphere water molecules can interact strongly with the phosphonate ligand oxygen atoms, resulting in efficient relaxation if their binding has relatively long lifetimes (> 50 ps). Rotational immobilization will amplify this contribution, thus making it similar to outer-sphere relaxation. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

All ligands formed structures similar to the parent [LnIII(DOTA)], complexes, with four N-atoms and four O-atoms from DOTA and one O-atom from the inner-sphere water molecules. Interestingly, the lifetimes ,M of the inner-sphere, metal-bound water molecules vary widely, ranging from nano- to milliseconds, depending on the identity of the pendent amide side chains. In general, positively charged [LnIII(DOTA-tetraamide)]3+ complexes display the longest residence times (high ,M values), while complexes with additional charged functional groups on the extended amides display much smaller ,M values, even when the side groups are not directly coordinated to the central Ln3+ ions. The design of novel [LnIII(DOTA-tetraamide)]3+ complexes with a wide, tunable range of ,M values is of prime importance for the application of fast-responding, paramagnetic chemical-exchange-saturation-transfer (PARACEST) imaging agents used for the study of physiological and metabolic processes.
