Abstract
AbstractThe cover picture shows the numerous opportunities luminescent rhenium(I) tricarbonyl polypyridine complexes offer regarding the development of probes for biological applications. Since the spectroscopic and luminescence properties of rhenium(I) tricarbonyl polypyridine complexes were reported in the 1970s, a number of sensors and probes have been derived from these complexes. K. K.‐W. Lo et al. describe in their Microreview on p. 3551 ff the fundamental emission characteristics of these complexes and explain why they hold promise for use as luminescent sensors. Additionally, the recent design of rhenium(I) tricarbonyl polypyridine complexes as biomolecular and cellular probes is summarized. Emphasis is placed on the structure–property relationships, bioconjugation, biomolecular binding, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and bioimaging studies of these complexes. Mr. Michael Wai‐Lun Chiang is acknowledged for the cover picture design.
