Gd smart : MRI contrast agents are presented that are based on a biocompatible condensation reaction. Upon reduction, a gadolinium‐containing cell‐permeable small‐molecule probe condenses into cyclic oligomers that subsequently self‐assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced relaxivity (by 110 % at 1.5 T and 35 °C, and 104 % in live cells at 0.5 T).
