[sup 1]H-NMR shift data were measured for the diamagnetic La[sup 3+] and Lu[sup 3+] complexes with diethylenetriaminepentaacetate-N,N[prime]-bis(methylamide) (DTPA-BMA) at different temperatures. Quartet splitting of the methylene protons of the terminal acetate groups and of the amide groups upon complexation with metal ions is indicative of long-lived metal-nitrogen bonds and short-lived metal-oxygen bonds. The observation of two quartets for the terminal acetates and the splitting of the N-methyl singlet upfield is attributed to the presence of more than one conformation in solution. Thermodynamic data indicate that DTPA-BMA acts as an octadentate ligand toward lanthanide ions and possibly as a hexadentate ligand toward Ca[sup 2+], Cu[sup 2+], and Zn[sup 2+] ions. Fluorescence data for the Eu[sup 3+] complex support the octadentate behavior of the ligand toward lanthanides and indicate that the complex contains one coordinated water molecule. 16 refs., 4 figs., 4 tabs.
