Abstract

We successfully fabricated 19F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nanoprobes by partly replacing the 2-methylimidazolate of the metal organic framework (MOF) matrix ZIF-8, of which the strong 19F MRI signal displays an interesting pH dependence property, indicating its great potential as a 19F MRI contrast agent for stimuli-responsive imaging with high penetration depth and low background.
