A group of scientists from IOCB Prague have created compounds that are up to a million times more stable than similar substances used in contemporary medicine to treat tumors or as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.

They have found a new way to securely bind metal elements, known as lanthanides, inside molecules of medical drugs.

The new compounds are so stable that they can literally be boiled in concentrated acid without decomposition.
