The present invention relates to novel ligands for forming metal complexes that absorb or fluoresce in the visible or near-infrared (NIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, new complexes incorporating such ligands, process for preparing such complexes, and methods of imaging or therapy using such agents. More particularly, the present invention specifically pertains to novel metal complexes derived from quinoline based heterocyclic N2O3, N3O3, N3O4, N3O5 and N2OS ligands, and are useful as general imaging, diagnostic, or therapeutic agents employing optical, nuclear medicine, or magnetic resonance procedures.
