title: A second generation MRI contrast agent for imaging zinc ionsin vivo.
abstract: A Zn2+specific GdDOTA derivative containing two bis-(3-pyrazolyl) units was prepared and characterized. Unlike a previously reported Zn2+binding agent, the new agent binds to human albumin both in the presence and absence of Zn2+.
