As a promising imaging technology, the low sensitivity of fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (¹⁹F MRI) severely hinders its biomedical applications. Herein, we have developed an unprecedented rotaxane-based strategy to improve the sensitivity of ¹⁹F MRI agents. By threading the fluorinated macrocycle into 2-blade pinwheel [2]rotaxanes, the ¹⁹F longitudinal relaxation rate R₁ was dramatically increased, resulting in a significant ¹⁹F MRI signal intensity enhancement of up to 79%. Through comparative molecular dynamics studies using a series of solution and solid-state ¹H/¹⁹F nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H/¹⁹F NMR) and molecular dynamics simulations, it was found that the formation of mechanical bonds dramatically restricts the motion of the wheel fluorines and thus increasing the R₁ for higher ¹⁹F MRI sensitivity. Besides a novel strategy for improving ¹⁹F MRI sensitivity, this study has established ¹⁹F NMR/MRI as a valuable technology for monitoring the molecular dynamics of rotaxanes, which may shed new light on high-performance ¹⁹F MRI agents and molecular devices.
