Front Cover: Origin of the Isomer Stability of Polymethylated DOTA Chelates Complexed with Ln³⁺ Ions (Eur. J. Inorg. Density functional calculations, Electrostatic repulsion, Isomers, Lanthanide complexes, Polymethylated DOTA chelates To understand the origin of the stability of one isomer over the other, the structures and energetics of DOTA-like chelates complexed with Lu ions were investigated with DFT calculations.
