Abstract
(Figure Presented) A colorful life: A new class of cyclometalated iridium(III)-polypyridine complexes have been discovered to exhibit environment-sensitive dual emission: In polar and nonpolar media the complexes show green and orange-yellow emission, respectively (see picture). This behavior has been utilized in the development of novel luminescent biological probes for avidin, estrogen receptor a, and human serum albumin. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
