title: Luminescent lanthanide bimetallic triple-stranded helicates as potential cellular imaging probes.
abstract: Water-soluble triple-stranded [Ln(2)(L)(3)] helicates have been successfully tested as imaging probes in human cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa), the complex being not toxic and clearly staining their cytoplasm in a concentration-dependent manner.
