A new ligand skeleton for imaging applications with d-f complexes: combined lifetime imaging and high relaxivity in an Ir/Gd dyad.
A new rigid and conjugated ligand structure connecting phenanthroline and poly(amino-carboxylate) binding sites provides d-f complexes which show high potential for use in dual (luminescence + magnetic resonance) imaging and for optimisation of d → f photoinduced energy-transfer.
