The invention relates to a chelate of isothiocyanate phenyl pentaazacyclo tetraacetic acid and a method for preparing the same. The method comprises the following steps of condensation, hydrolysis, and substitution, the product of which undergoes condensation with bromoacetate, and chelating with a lanthanide to produce p-nitrobenzene pentaazacyclo tetraacetic acid which undergoes deoxidization with 5 percent Pd/C and finally the reaction with thiophosgene to obtain the target compound I. The chelate of isothiocyanate phenyl pentaazacyclo tetraacetic acid is an unknown compound, and the formed rigid aperture compound is chelated with the lanthanide including europium, indium, scythe, and terbium, and the structure of the chelate is determined through element analysis, analysis with infrared and ultraviolet, magnetic resonance imaging, and mass spectrum, the prepared chelate is mainly used for time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay.
