title: A water-soluble gadolinium metallofullerenol: facile preparation, magnetic properties and magnetic resonance imaging application.
abstract: A new water-soluble gadolinium metallofullerenol was prepared through a solid-liquid reaction. It was characterized to have an enhanced effective magnetic moment, and improved T1-weighted relaxivity and magnetic resonance imaging performance in the liver. This material prepared by a facile method has wide application as a contrast agent and biological medicine.
