A facile one-pot synthesis of a water-soluble MnO nanocolloid (i.e., D-glucuronic acid-coated MnO nanoparticle) is presented. The MnO nanoparticle in the MnO nanocolloid was coated with a biocompatible and hydrophilic D-glucuronic acid, and its particle diameter was nearly monodisperse and ranged from 2 to 3 nm. The average hydrodynamic diameter of the MnO nanocolloid was estimated to be 5 nm. The MnO nanoparticle was nearly paramagnetic down to T = 3 K. The MnO nanocolloid showed a high longitudinal water proton relaxivity of r(1), = 7.02 s(-1) mM(-1) with the r(2)/r(1), ratio of 6.83 due to five unpaired S-state electrons of Mn(II) ion (S = 5/2) as well as a high surface to volume ratio of the MnO nanoparticle. High contrast in vivo T-1, MR images were obtained for various organs, showing the capability of the MnO nanocolloid as a sensitive T-1, MRI contrast agent. The suggested three key-parameters which control the r(1) and r(2) relaxivities of nanocolloids (i.e., the S value of a metal ion, the spin structure, and the surface to volume ratio of a nanoparticle) successfully accounted for the observed r(1) and r(2) relaxivities of the MnO nanocolloid.
