title: Thiol-specific phosphorescent imaging in living cells with an azobis(2,2'-bipyridine)-bridged dinuclear iridium(III) complex.
abstract: Based on an azo-thiol redox reaction, a non-emissive dinuclear iridium(III) complex showed off-on phosphorescent response toward thiols and was developed to image thiol levels in living cells.
