Abstract

The synthesis and photophysical evaluation of a new lanthanide luminescence imaging agent is presented. The agent, a terbium-based cyclen complex can, through the use of an iminodiacetate moiety, bind to damaged bone surface via chelation to exposed Ca(ii) sites, enabling the imaging of the damage using confocal fluorescence scanning microscopy.
