| Abstract | The control of the rate of water exchange in lanthanide complexes is critical to their future development as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In traditional T/sub 1/ shortening agents an optimal water residence lifetime (/spl tau//sub M/) of around 25 ns is required if the highest relaxivities are to be achieved. In contrast the newer PARACEST agents require that water exchange is much slower with /spl tau//sub M/ on the order of microseconds. It is now possible to rationally design complexes that exhibit water exchange rates that are ideal for their intended use. The selection of appropriate ligating groups allow a broad control mechanism. Anionic ligating groups such as carboxylates favour faster exchange whereas neutral ligands such as amides favour slower exchange. By altering the steric hindrance around the water coordination site water exchange rates can be fine tuned. The steric hindrance can be altered by controlling the coordination environment of the lanthanide ion and optimal water exchanges rates so achieved. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
