Abstract

The cryptate complex [Gd(L)(DMF)] · KSCN · CH3CN · 3H2O has been synthesized by the reaction of gadolinium isothiocyanate and potassium thiocyanate with cryptate [Na(H2L)], which was prepared by a (2 + 3) Schiff-base condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine and 2,6-diformyl-4-methoxyphenol in the presence of NaOH. The Gd atom is encapsulated in the cryptand with an unsymmetric eight-coordinate environment.
