چکیده

The intense luminescence of the new complex Ir(ppy)(2)(pybz) (1) within the cytoplasm of live cells can be discriminated from the fluorescence of an organic stain, solely on the basis of the emission timescale {pybzH = 2-pyridyl-benzimidazole}. The protonated form of 1 displays red-shifted emission, and may be implicated in a superior uptake compared to Ir(ppy)(3).

A Phosphorescent Iridium(III) Complex‐Modified Nanoprobe for Hypoxia Bioimaging Via Time‐Resolved Luminescence Microscopy

Oxygen plays a crucial role in many biological processes. Accurate monitoring of oxygen level is important for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Autofluorescence is an unavoidable interference in luminescent bioimaging, so that an amount of research work has been devoted to reducing background autofluorescence. Herein, a phosphorescent iridium(III) complex-modified nanoprobe is developed, wh...

Indium-111 maltolate complex as a cell labeling agent for SPECT imaging

Introduction: Due to the cell labeling potentials of various metal-maltol complexes, the idea of developing a possible cell labeling imaging agent using single photon emission computed chromatography (SPECT) with[111In]-maltolate complex has been investigated. Methods: [111In] labeled 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate ([111In]-maltolate) was prepared using f...

Time-resolved luminescence resonance energy transfer imaging of protein-protein interactions in living cells.

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) with fluorescent proteins permits high spatial resolution imaging of protein-protein interactions in living cells. However, substantial non-FRET fluorescence background can obscure small FRET signals, making many potential interactions unobservable by conventional FRET techniques. Here we demonstrate time-resolved microscopy of luminescence resonance ene...

Aggregation induced colour change for phosphorescent iridium(III) complex-based anionic surfactants.

We describe a new class of water soluble metallosurfactant molecules based on luminescent neutral iridium(III) complexes. The compounds possess an alkyl chain terminated with a negatively charged group, a sulphate. Due to their amphiphilic nature they assemble in aggregates in water and their photophysical properties, as well as the morphological characterization of the assemblies are presented...
