Abstract

We report here the synthesis, characterization and photophysical properties of two novel phosphorescent cyclometalated iridium(III) polypyridine D-fructose complexes and their fructose-free counterparts. The cellular uptake of the complexes and their cytotoxicity have also been examined.

This article is part of the themed collection: Metallomics in China
