title: Controlled synthesis of a novel heteropolymetallic complex with selectively incorporated lanthanide(III) ions.
abstract: A novel synthetic strategy toward a heteropolymetallic lanthanide complex with selectively incorporated gadolinium and europium ions is outlined. Luminescence and relaxometric measurements suggest possible applications in bimodal (magnetic resonance/optical) imaging.
