The aim of this Master Thesis is to synthesize and study new macrocyclic ligands containing fluorine atoms for use as potencial contrast agents in 19 F magnetic resonance imaging. New ligands were designed as analogues of ligands used in contrast agents already utilized in clinical practice - macrocyclic ligand for complexation of trivalent lanthanide ions based on DOTA skeleton and series of macrocyclic ligands for complexation of divalent nickel ion based on cyclam skeleton. All designed ligands were synthesized a characterized. The complexes [LnIII (dotptfe )]− were tested in vitro and in vivo to study 19 F NMR relaxation times enhancements.

Ces travaux consistent en l’étude selon trois axes de la chimie de coordination des ligands de type acyle-hydrazone, faisant suite à l’isolation d’un complexe binucléaire de manganèse (III) portant un tel ligand, et montrant un fort couplage ferromagnétique. Le développement de leur chimie de coordination avec des éléments de la première série de transition a permis la synthèse de plusieurs complexes binucléaires, permettant d’étudier la relation entre les structures moléculaires de ces systèmes, et leurs propriétés magnétiques. En parallèle, une série de polymères de coordination de métaux alcalins et alcalino-terreux portant des ligands acyle-hydrazone fonctionnalisés par un groupement sulfonate a été étudiée. Enfin, la synthèse de deux ligands dérivés d’un anthracène est présentée, celle-ci est accompagnée d’une étude de leurs propriétés de coordination. / This work consists in the study of the coordination chemistry of acyl-hydrazone ligands, following the discovery of a manganese (III) dinuclear complex showing a strong ferromagnetic coupling. The development of the acyl-hydrazone coordination to first-row transitional metals resulted in several dinuclear complexes allowing the study of the relationship between their structural and magnetic properties. In a second part the study of several coordination polymers of alkali and alkali-earth metals bearing acyl-hydrazone ligands functionalized with a sulfonate group is presented. Finally the synthesis of two anthracene-based ligands is presented along a study of their coordination properties.
