摘要：
A photoacoustic imaging contrast agent composition is provided. The composition comprises a metal carbonyl cluster compound having the general formula (I) M3(CO)xL12-x wherein M at each occurrence denotes a metal selected from Group 6 to Group 11 of the Periodic Table of Elements； x is an integer from 10 to 12； and each L is independently selected from the group consisting of —H and -A-(CH2)n—COO−Y+, wherein A is selected from the group consisting of S, O, C and N； n is an integer from 1 to 10； and Y is any cation. Use of the photoacoustic imaging contrast agent composition in photoacoustic imaging is also provided.
