Phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes as lifetime-based biological sensors for photoluminescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Jie Zhou et al.

Summary: Luminescent iridium(III) complexes have been extensively studied as intracellular sensors for photoluminescence microscopy imaging due to their high phosphorescence quantum yields, photostability, good cell membrane permeability, and rich and sensitive photophysical properties. Photoluminescence lifetime imaging microscopy (PLIM) allows for visualizing and mapping the decay of luminescent dyes in the time domain during cellular imaging. This review article focuses on the design and applications of lifetime-responsive phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes as imaging reagents for mapping environmental parameters and sensing analytes of interest in intracellular conditions.
