Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labelsTools Turyanska, Lyudmila, Moro, Fabrizio, Patanè, Amalia, Barr, James, Köckenberger, Walter, Taylor, Alexander, Faas, Henryk, Fowler, Maxine J., Wigmore, Peter, Trueman, Rebecca C., Williams, Huw Edward Llewelyn and Thomas, Neil R. (2016) Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labels. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 42 . pp. 6797-6802. ISSN 2050-750X Full text not available from this repository.AbstractMagnetic interactions of Mn2+ions in lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals with protons in water are probed by NMR and MRI. A thin layer of capping molecules enables free solvent diffusion to the nanocrystal surface resulting in a decrease of proton relaxation times. Magnetic resonance imaging of neuronal cell pellets exposed to (PbMn)S at non-toxic concentrations demonstrates their prospects as MRI-labels.
