Sr. Zhang et al., SYNTHESIS AND SOLVENT ENHANCED RELAXATION PROPERTY OF WATER-SOLUBLE ENDOHEDRAL METALLOFULLERENOLS, Fullerene science and technology, 5(7), 1997, pp. 1635-1643
Gadolinium fullerenols, as novel and potential contrast agents for mag
netic resonance imaging, were synthesized, which showed excellent effi
ciency in enhancing water proton relaxation with a relaxivity of 47.0/-1.0 mM(-1).s(-1).
