AI Article Synopsis
- A series of europium complexes with strong light-emitting properties have been synthesized and analyzed for their structure and characteristics.
- Certain of these complexes can enter mammalian cells through a process called macropinocytosis.
- They selectively stain the mitochondria, which enables scientists to observe the europium emission within living cells using a technique called time-gated spectral imaging.
Article Abstract
The synthesis, structure and photophysical properties of a series of highly emissive europium complexes is reported. Certain complexes enter mammalian cells by macropinocytosis and stain the mitochondria selectively, allowing observation of the Eu emission in cellulo by time-gated spectral imaging.
