Question: By searching the primary chemical literature, please find ONE article published by the RSC, ACS, Wiley or Elsevier which describes the synthesis and properties of an agent that combines luminescence & MRI capability AND one that is responsive to its environment.

Using a MAXIMUM of 1000 words your work should include:
- the design principles and purpose of the agent;
- an explanation of the synthesis, highlighting any key steps;
- the physical parameter(s) (e.g. q value, τ_R or τ_M etc.) which are being manipulated to result in a change of relaxivity;
- the physical parameter(s) (e.g. λ_abs, λ_em, lifetime, quantum yield) which are being manipulated to result in a change of luminescence property.
- critical appraisal, citing any evidence in the paper, of the potential of your chosen example for in vivo application.

We encourage the use of diagrams/cartoons to explain the reagent/probe design (captions are NOT included in the word count).

Give the full reference (authors, journal name, year and page number)
