title: Effective and efficient sensitisation of terbium luminescence at 355 nm with cell permeable pyrazoyl-1-azaxanthone macrocyclic complexes.
abstract: Emissive terbium complexes, suitable for protein conjugation, incorporating a pyrazoyl-1-aza-xanthone chromophore have been prepared; they exhibit cellular uptake and possess a much lower sensitivity to excited state quenching.
