Water-soluble noncovalent adducts of the heterometallic copper subgroup complexes and human serum albumin with remarkable luminescent properties

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jan 25;50(7):849-51. doi: 10.1039/c3cc48008a.

Abstract

Novel water-soluble noncovalent adducts of the heterometallic copper subgroup complexes and human serum albumin (HSA) display strong phosphorescence, internalize into HeLa cells and can be used in time-resolved fluorescent imaging.
