An x-ray contrast medium containing a multinuclear complex of the formula (M.sub.6 (.mu..sub.3 B).sub.8 A.sub.v).sub.x L.sub.w, wherein M is Mo, W, Re Tc, V, Nb, Ta, Ru, or Fe; .mu..sub.3 B represent a tridentate bridging atom; A is a non-bridging atom; L is a ligand coordinately bonded to at least one M atom; x is a positive integer; and v and w are independently zero or positive integers.

Multinuclear complexes for X-ray imaging

The invention relates to the use as contrast enhancing agents in medical imaging, especially X-ray imaging, of multinuclear complexes, i.e. complexes, such as those of W202 (U20) 2, in which the complexed entity comprises at least two contrast enhancing atoms.
