The synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles coated by Gd-chelate (GdL@Au) is described, where L is a conjugate of DTPA (DTPA = diethylenetriamine-N,N,N',N",N"-pentaacetic acid) and 4-aminothiophenol. These particles are obtained by the replacement of citrate from the gold nanoparticle surfaces with gadolinium chelate (GdL). The average size of GdL@Au is 12 nm with a loading of GdL reaching up to $1.4\times}10^3$ per particles, and they demonstrate very high r1 relaxivity ($\sim}10^4mM^-1}s^-1}$) and the r1 relaxivity per [Gd] is as high as $10mM^-1}s-1}$. Here, we also describe the use of bimodality of this contrast agent (CA) as a highly efficient CT contrast agent based on gold nanoparticles (GNPs) that overcome the limitations of iodine based contrast agent. The MTT assay performed on this CAs reveals the cytotoxicity as low as that for Omniscan$^(R)}$ in the concentration range required to obtain intensity enhancement in the in vivo MRI study.

and Gd3+ lanthanide centres, and has potential as a dual output probe for visible emission and magnetic resonance imaging measurements. The Eu3+ emission is perturbed compared to an isoabsorptive non-macrocyclic equivalent complex, EuL x . Macrocycle M2 incorporates Eu3+ and Nd3+ lanthanide centres for dual optical output in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagneticspectrum. We demonstrate

Treatment of A549 human lung carcinoma cells with a DNA metallointercalator complex results in the selectiveaggregation of the intact drug within the cell nuclei, as determined by synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging (see images). This work is the first example of gadolinium delivery by a platinum complex to a tumor‐cell nucleus.
