The nature of the sensitiser substituent determines quenching sensitivity and protein affinity and influences the design of emissive lanthanide complexes as optical probes for intracellular use

Filip Kielar, Ga-Lai Law, Elizabeth J. New and David Parker


Introduction of different substituents at the 7-position of a sensitising azaxanthone group in a series of emissive Eu and Tb complexes can determine the intracellular uptake and distribution profile and may be linked to modulation of protein affinity.
