TL;DR: A novel iridium(III)-based probe 1 is designed and synthesized for discriminating ovarian carcinoma cell lines from normal cell lines and could be potentially used as a useful probe for detecting β-gal expression in the context of ovarian cancer diagnostics.

TL;DR: A long-lived complex 13 could selectively bind to dopamine receptors (D1R/D2R) and monitor their internalization in living cells.

TL;DR: Practical application of the detection platform for visualizing the intracellular GSH distribution in living zebrafish has been demonstrated and the luminescence intensity responded linearly with the GSH concentration.

TL;DR: Optical imaging possesses a number of notable advantages that renders it as an attractive diagnostic modality, and transition metal complexes have attracted recent attention as alternatives to conventional dyes due to their advantages of large Stokes shifts, long lifetimes, and ease of structural modifications.

TL;DR: In this article, a long-lived iridium(III) complex probe Ir_1 for bisulfite detection has been synthesized, containing double aldehyde groups in the N^N donor ligand.
