title: Luminescent rhenium(I) diimine indole conjugates--photophysical, electrochemical and protein-binding properties.
abstract: Two novel luminescent rhenium(I) diimine indole complexes have been designed and their properties studied; these conjugates can be recognised by indole-binding proteins including bovine serum albumin, lysozyme and tryptophanase.
