This article presents a facile strategy to combine Eu3+ and Gd3+ ions into coacervate core micelles in a controlled way with a statistical distribution of the ions. Consequently, the formed micelles show a high tunability between luminescence and relaxivity. These highly stable micelles present great potential for new materials, e. g. as bimodal imaging probes.Chemistry, MultidisciplinarySCI(E)9ARTICLE363736-37384
