Phosphorescent imaging of living cells using a cyclometalated iridium (III) complex.

Phosphorescent imaging of living cells using a cyclometalated iridium (III) complex.

A cell permeable cyclometalated iridium(III) complex has been developed as a phosphorescent probe for cell imaging. The iridium(III) solvato complex [Ir(phq)2(H2O]2)] preferentially stains the cytoplasm of both live and dead cells with a bright luminescence.
