Macrocyclic complexes and macrocyclic compounds. The macrocyclic complexes or macrocyclic compounds have a TACN moiety with one or more amine group(s) or a O- or S-substituted TACN moiety. The macrocyclic complexes have a high-spin Fe(III) atom coordinated to the TACN moiety. The macrocyclic complexes can be used in imaging methods.
