Abstract

This review focuses on the advancements in manganese (Mn) complex-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents for imaging different diseases. Here we emphasize the unique redox properties of Mn to deliver innovative MRI contrast agents, including small molecules, nanoparticles (NPs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and polymer hybrids. Aspects of their rational design have been discussed, including size dependence, morphology tuning, surface property enhancement, etc., while also discussing the existing challenges and potential solutions. The present work will inspire and motivate scientists to emphasize MRI-guided applications and bring clinical success in the coming years.
