Lanthanide(III) complexes of a pyridine N-oxide analogue of DOTA: exclusive M isomer formation induced by a six-membered chelate ring.
The presence of a six-membered chelate ring involving a pyridine N-oxide moiety induces exclusive M isomer formation throughout the whole lanthanide series endowed with a fast water exchange in the case of the Gd(III) complex.
