Phosphorescent Imaging of Living Cells Using a Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complex

A cell permeable cyclometalated iridium(III) complex has been developed as a phosphorescent probe for cell imaging. The iridium(III) solvato complex [Ir(phq)(2)(H(2)O](2))] preferentially stains the cytoplasm of both live and dead cells with a bright luminescence.
