In a study of the thermodynamics of complexation of lanthanide with TETA (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N{prime},N{double_prime},N{prime}{double_prime}-tetraacetic acid), stability was found to be less than that of the analogous DOTA complex. The destabilizing effect of the two propylenediamine groups weakens the lanthanide(III) ion-nitrogen donor interaction, even though TETA has an increased internal cavity size (14-membered cycle) comparing to DOTA (12-membered cycle). To further understand the factors involved in chelating kinetics, the authors have studied the dissociation of Ce(III) and Eu(III) complexes of TETA. 21 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
