title: A strong two-photon induced phosphorescent Golgi-specific in vitro marker based on a heteroleptic iridium complex.
abstract: A new heteroleptic iridium complex demonstrated low cytotoxicity and near-infrared excitation (via two-photon absorption) for target-specific in vitro Golgi imaging in various cell lines (HeLa and A549 cells) with two-photon absorption cross section (~350 GM) in DMSO.
