S. Aime et al., Modulation of the water exchange rates in [Gd-DO3A] complex by formation of ternary complexes with carboxylate ligands, CHEM COMMUN, (01), 2001, pp. 115-116
Ternary complexes of formula [Gd-DO3A-L-(H2O)] (where L is a carboxylate-co
ntaining ligand) display exchange lifetimes of the metal-coordinated water
that can be modulated as a function of L.
