Abstract

Luminescent cyclometallated iridium(iii) complexes bearing a 2-formylphenylboronic acid moiety were designed; one of the complexes was utilised to modify peptides containing an N-terminal cysteine to afford luminescent conjugates with selective organelle-targeting or furin-responsive properties. © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
