AI Article Synopsis

  • ParaSHIFT agents, like CoMetrenCl, are being explored for detecting chemical targets in biological systems using magnetic resonance.
  • Researchers found that the compound shows clear changes in the H NMR spectrum when in the presence of specific anions like fluoride, acetate, lactate, and citrate.
  • Even when mixed with other anions, the distinctive NMR shifts for each anion remain observable, indicating strong potential for practical applications.

Article Abstract

ParaSHIFT agents have shown promise in detecting chemical targets in biological systems by magnetic resonance, but few studies have used transition metal complexes for this purpose. Here we report our investigations into CoMetrenCl (tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) as a paraSHIFT agent. The paramagnetic region of the H NMR spectrum shows characteristic spectral profiles in the presence of fluoride, acetate, lactate and citrate in aqueous solution. These distinctive NMR shifts of each anion are maintained even in mixtures of anions.
