Stable and inert manganese complexes for magnetic resonance imaging by Ndiaye, Daouda, Tóth, Éva

“…We specifically focus on the molecular ligand design, including linear, macrocyclic and bicyclic (bispidine) chelators that allowed for substantially enhanced kinetic inertness of the complexes, as well as for ligand selectivity for Mn$^{2+}$ versus the main biological competitor Zn$^{2+}$. In addition to the $+2$ form of manganese, Mn$^{3+}$ is also paramagnetic in the high-spin state, with promising relaxation properties among porphyrin complexes. …”

The Marshall Plan and the European Integration: The Stance of Great Britain and France (1947–1948) by P. I. Falaleev

“…While some considered this process as an effective means of bringing the Western countries together, particularly, over the German question, others feared that integration of Western Europe could potentially lead to the emergence of a new competitor to the USA. The author concludes that the growing popularity of integration projects in Europe in 1947–1948 stemmed from a range of factors, including both a combination of internal European political processes and short-term and long-term consequences of the Marshall Plan. …”
