We have found that the metal-ligand binding of chelates is important in determining the ZFS and tauv. We also investigated the role of the cage rigidity of the chelate, and studied its effect on tauv. Finally, we hope that our study can stimulate synthesis 'Smart Contrast Agents' that utilizes the changes in electron relaxation rate upon changes in structure.
