title: A luminescent europium(III)-platinum(II) heterometallic complex as a theranostic agent: a proof-of-concept study.
abstract: A luminescent heterometallic multifunctional theranostic Eu-Pt2 complex [{cis-PtCl2(DMSO)}2Eu(L)(H2O)] has been synthesized, possessing two therapeutic Pt-centers as covalent DNA binders and one emissive Eu(3+)-center which is sensitized by platinum-based metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited states.
