title: Cyano-bridged coordination polymer nanoparticles with high nuclear relaxivity: toward new contrast agents for MRI.
abstract: New water-soluble paramagnetic Gd-containing cyano-bridged metallic coordination polymer nanoparticles with a chitosan shell show high nuclear relaxivity in acidic water which is up to six times higher than that of the actually used Gd-chelates.
