摘要

PCT No. PCT/EP94/04016 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 3, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 3, 1996 PCT Filed Dec. 2, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/17451 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 29, 1995The invention relates to new metal complexes of dendrimeric macromolecules that contain 8 to 64 ions of an element of atomic numbers 21-129, 39, 42-44, or 57-83 and a polymeric, complexing ligand of formula IA-(X)b(I)in which A, X and b have different meanings, agents that contain these compounds as well as the use of the latter in diagnosis. The invention further relates to a process for the production of the complexes and agents.
