Rhenium fac tricarbonyl bisimine complexes: biologically useful fluorochromes for cell imaging applications

Angelo J. Amoroso, Michael P. Coogan, Jennifer E. Dunne, Vanesa Fernández-Moreira, Jacob B. Hess, Anthony J. Hayes, David Lloyd, Coralie Millet, Simon J. A. Pope and Craig Williams

A series of lipophilic and hydrophilic fac tricarbonyl rhenium bisimine complexes have been prepared, their membrane-permeabilities explored in liposomes and their potential for application in fluorescence microscopy cell imaging demonstrated in the first application of MLCT-fluorescent rhenium complexes in cell imaging.
