Eu-II complexes are potential candidates for pO(2)-responsive contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In this regard, we have characterized two novel macrocyclic Eu-II chelates, [Eu-II(DOTA)(H2O)](2-) and [Eu-II-(TETA)](2-) (H(4)DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid, H(4)TETA = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,4,8,11-tetraacetic acid) in terms of redox and thermodynamic complex stability, proton relaxivity, water exchange, rotation and electron spin relaxation. Additionally, solid-state structures were determined for the Sr-II analogues. They revealed no innersphere water in the TETA and one inner-sphere water molecule in the DOTA complex. This hydration pattern is retained in solution, as the 170 chemical shifts and H-1 relaxation rates proved for the corresponding Eu-II compounds. The thermodynamic complex stability, determined from the formal redox potential and by pH potentiometry, of [Eu-II-(DOTA)(H2O)](2-) (lgK(Eu(II)) =16.75) is the highest among all known Eu-II complexes, whereas the redox stabilities of both [Eu-II(DOTA)(H2O](2-) and [Eu-II-(TETA)](2-) are inferior to that of 18-membered macrocyclic Eu-II chelates. Variable-temperature O-17 NMR, NMRD and EPR studies yielded the rates of water exchange, rotation and electron spin relaxation. Water exchange on [Eu-II(DOTA)(H2O)](2-) is remarkably fast (k(ex)(298) = 2.5 x 10(9) s(-1)). The near zero activation volume (DeltaV(+) = +0.1 +/- 1.0 cm(3) mol(-1)), determined by variable-pressure O-17 NMR spectroscopy, points to an interchange mechanism. The fast water exchange can be related to the low charge density on Eu-II, to an unexpectedly long M-O-water distance (2.85 Angstrom) and to the consequent interchange mechanism. Electron spin relaxation is considerably slower on [Eu-II-(DOTA)(H2O)](2-) than on the linear [Eu-II(DTPA)(H2O)](3-) (H(5)DTPA = diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid), and this difference is responsible for its 25 % higher proton relaxivity (r(1) = 4.32 mM(-1) s(-1) for [Eu-II(DOTA)(H2O)](2-)versus 3.49 mM(-1)s(-1) for [Eu-II(DTPA)-(H2O)](3-); 20 MHz, 298 K).
