Relaxivity modulation in Gd-functionalised mesoporous silicas.
Two hybrid materials based on mesoporous silicas SBA-15 and MCM-41 functionalized with stable and electrically neutral Gd(iii) macrocyclic complexes were prepared, and their (1)H NMR relaxometric properties investigated as a function of temperature and magnetic field strength.
