Very bright europium complexes that stain cellular mitochondria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis, structure and photophysical properties of a series of highly emissive europium complexes is reported. Certain complexes enter mammalian cells by macropinocytosis and stain the mitochondria selectively, allowing observation of the Eu emission in cellulo by time-gated spectral imaging.

Five structurally related europium(iii) complexes of heptadentate macrocyclic ligands bearing azaxanthone or azathiaxanthone chromophores have been evaluated comparatively as responsive probes of the intracellular environment. Protein binding (HSA) and oxy-anion binding constants have been measured by titrimetric analysis, examining ratiometric emission changes for three examples, and systems e...

Flexible luminescent polymer films were obtained by doping europium(III) complexes in blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [C6mim][Tf2N]. Different europium(III) complexes have been incorporated in the polymer/ionic liquid matrix: [C6mim][Eu(nta)4], [C6mim][Eu(tta)4], [Eu(tta)3(phen)] and [choline]3[Eu(dpa...
