title: Monochromophoric iridium(iii) pyridyl-tetrazine complexes as a unique design strategy for bioorthogonal probes with luminogenic behavior.
abstract: The coordination of pyridyl-tetrazine to a cationic iridium(iii) center affords a novel class of luminogenic bioorthogonal probes for biomolecular labeling and cellular imaging.
