Abstract: Two amino acid derivative ligands,ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid(EDDS)and N,N,N′,N′-tetrahydroxyethylcystine(THEC),were synthesized from the reaction ofL-aspartic acid with 1,2-dibromoethane and L-cystine with chloroethanol respectively. Theirparamagnetic gadolinium(Ⅲ) complexes were prepared by the reaction of the ligands with Gd2O3 and Gd(OAc)3 respectively. The ligands and their Gd(Ⅲ) complexes were character-ized by IR,1HNMRspectroscopy and elemental analysis. The proton relaxivity of the com-plexes was investigated, and the R1 values of Gd(Ⅲ)-EDDSand Gd(Ⅲ)-THECare 10.33and 6.62 mmol-1·L·s-1,respectively.
