Abstract
 The work describes EPR and 17O NMR measurements followed by theoretical calculation of the rotational correlation time (τR), the water residence time (τm), and the longitudinal electronic spin relaxation time (T1e) for two new gadolinium complexes 1 and 2 of the type [Gd(L)(H2O)] (L = tranexamic esters) in order to investigate their efficiency as a paramagnetic contrast agent (PCA). Of three correlation times, τR plays a major and predominant role to the unusually high relaxivity of 1 and 2 as compared with that of clinically approved MR CAs such as [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]2- (Magnevist?), [Gd(DTPA?BMA)(H2O)] (Omniscan?), and [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]- (Dotarem?). The presence of bulky tranexamic ester in the ligand seems to be responsible for the conformational rigidity, which in turn causes such great an increase in τR.
