Abstract: | Metal-ligand complexes containing ruthenium, osmium, or rhenium display a high photostability, with polarized emission and
decay times from 100 ns to 100 Μs. Such probes have considerable potential in biophysics, clinical chemistry, and fluorescence
microscopy. In this review we sumrecent developments from this laboratory on the spectral properties of conjugatable metalligand
complexes. We also suggest how improved probes can be developed based on the selection of organic ligands. |
