Photofunctional cyclometallated iridium(iii) polypyridine methylsulfone complexes as sulfhydryl-specific reagents for bioconjugation, bioimaging and photocytotoxic applications

Abstract

We report herein near-infrared (NIR)-emitting cyclometallated iridium(III) complexes bearing a heteroaromatic methylsulfone moiety as sulfhydryl-specific reagents; one of the complexes was conjugated to cysteine and cysteine-containing peptides and proteins for bioimaging and photocytotoxic applications.
