Abstract

Trigger ready: A redox-activated MRI contrast agent can cycle between paramagnetic CoII (MRI-active) and diamagnetic CoIII (MRI-silent). The paramagnetic CoII form produces a highly shifted CEST signal at 135 ppm (37 °C). The redox state of the Co complex is altered by O2 partial pressure and reductant concentration (thiols) on a time scale relevant to imaging. MT=magnetization transfer.
