Abstract
By combining advantages of two series of lanthanide(III)/zinc(II) metallacrowns (MCs) assembled using pyrazine- (pyzHA2- ) and quinoxaline- (quinoHA2- ) hydroximate building blocks ligands, we created here water-soluble mixed-ligand MCs with extended absorption to the visible range. The YbIII analogue demonstrated improved photophysical properties in the near-infrared (NIR) range in cell culture media, facilitating its application for NIR optical imaging in living HeLa cells.
