Two gadolinium-sandwiched complexes with tungstosilicates, K 13 [Gd(SiW 11 O 39 ) 2 ] (Gd(SiW 11 ) 2 ) and K 11 H 6 [Gd 3 O 3 (SiW 9 O 34 ) 2 ] (Gd 3 (SiW 9 ) 2 ), have been investigated by in vitro and in vivo experiments as potential contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

## Abstract A computer model of blood plasma which has allowed the effect of Gd(III) contrast agents to be simulated has been developed. Initial binding of Gd(III) is to transferrin. At high concentration the metal ion binds to citrate and salicylate. At a concentrate of 10^−3^ __M__, GdCl~3~ is pr
