Abstract: Two sandwich-type manganese polyoxometalates, K10[Mn4(PW9O34)2]·22H2O and Na16[Mn4(H2O)2(P2W15O56)2]·53H2O, were synthesized and characterized by IR and elemental analysis. T1-relaxivities of the two compounds were higher than or similar to that of the commercial MRI contrast agent(Gd-DTPA), and relaxivities in BSA and hTf were also reported. T1-weighted MR imaging of rat kidney and liver showed a good enhancement post i.v. injection of the two manganese polyoxometalates. The results indicate the two sandwich-type manganese polyoxometalates being potential contrast agents for MRI.
