To date very little is known about the coordination chemistry of the sapphyrin macrocycle, and no complexes have been reported for the dioxosapphyrin or the thiosapphyrin. In the free-base form, sapphyrin is a potential trianionic ligand and thus, on paper at least, seems perfectly suited for complexing the normally trivalent cations of the lanthanide series. Presumably, lanthanide(III) complexes of sapphyrin, which would be neutral (and potentially useful for magnetic resonance imaging applications see Sect. 12.2), would be expected to form easily under typical porphyrin metalation conditions. However, in spite of the apparent correspondence in the sapphyrin core size and the ionic radii of the lanthanides, to date no lanthanide cation has been inserted into the core of the sapphyrin macrocycle using a variety of standard metal insertion techniques [156]. Nor, have any other pentaligated complexes of any other metal cations been reported to...

Liquid helium s use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) continues to increase as the medical profession accepts and develops new uses for the equipment. This equipment has eliminated some need for exploratory surgery by accurately diagnosing patients. Another medical application uses MRE to determine (by blood analysis) whether a patient has any form of cancer.

Magnetic resonance imaging has enabled the development of a completely novel type of viscometer. This technique is based on the capacity of MRI to accurately measure velocity profiles in opaque liquids. Its potential applications include many systems of industrial relevance, such as polymer melts and slurries. The data presented here clearly show that a wide range of fluid behaviors can be measured.
