Responsive fluorinated lanthanide probes for 19F magnetic resonance spectroscopy

P. Kanthi Senanayake, Alan M. Kenwright, David Parker and Susanna K. van der Hoorn

The introduction of CF3 reporter groups close to the paramagnetic centre in macrocyclic lanthanide(III) complexes allows faster acquisition of 19F magnetic resonance data, and amplifies chemical shift non-equivalence, as exemplified by the definition of ratiometric chemical shift probes for pH and, in principle, enzyme activity.
