Abstract
Controlling water exchange: Square antiprism (SAP; left) and twisted square antiprism (TSAP; right) coordination isomers of LnIII" DOTA-type complexes (DOTA= 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) may be isolated by choosing substituents on the ring and arms with identical chirality for the TSAP isomer, or with opposite chirality for the SAP isomer. The water exchange rates of the complexes differ by an order of magnitude.
