Zy. Yang et al., Synthesis and relaxivity of polycarboxylic hydrazone rare earth complexes - Relaxivity of alpha-oxo-pentanedioic acid benzoyl hydrazone Gd-complexes, CHIN SCI B, 45(20), 2000, pp. 1844-1850
Synthesis of ligand, alpha -oxo-pentanedioic acid benzoyl hydrazone (H2LPB)
, and its six rare earth (La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd and Er) complexes are reported
. The composition and the properties of the complexes were characterized by
element analysis, thermal analysis, UV, IR and H-1 NMR spectra. Besides, r
elaxivity (R-1) of Gd-complex has been determined by INVREC.Au program, usi
ng inversion recovery pulse sequences, R-1=8.05 mmol.L-1.s(-1). The acute t
oxicity of Gd-complex in animal has also been tested, and the median lethal
dose (LD50) is equal to (468.2+/-30) mg/kg.
