## Abstract A series of linear copolymers of DTPA‐class Gd^3+^ conjugates, linked by α,ω‐alkyldiamides with a varying number (__n__) of methylenes separating the amide function, were synthesized. Surprisingly, their relaxivities at all fields increased with increasing __n__. At MRI fields and 35°C,
