The complexation of lanthanide (III) cations with diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) in the presence of lithium as counterion in aqueous solution has been investigated with the use of {sup 13}C, {sup 17}O, and {sup 6}Li NMR shift and relaxation measurements. The data show that the DTPA ligand is bound octadentately via the three nitrogens and the fine carboxylates. Conformational interconversions, taking place in the DTPA ligand, give rise to exchange broadening in the {sup 13}C and {sup 1}H NMR spectra. The first coordination sphere is completed by one water, while two lithium counterions are present in the second coordination sphere. The counterions are probably exchanging between the various carboxylate groups.
