The time domain in co-stained cell imaging: time-resolved emission imaging microscopy using a protonatable luminescent iridium complex

Abstract

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.
