Two water-stable three-dimensional Mn- and Gd-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), {[Mn(Cmdcp)(HO)]·HO} (1) and {[Gd(Cmdcp)(HO)](NO)·3HO} (2, HCmdcpBr = N-(4-carboxy benzyl)-(3,5-dicarboxyl)pyridinium bromide), have been prepared and analyzed. In vitro magnetic resonance imaging indicated that MOFs 1 and 2 possess relaxivity r values of 17.50 and 13.
