Abstract
Luminescence imaging is a powerful and versatile technique for investigating cell physiology and pathology in living systems, making significant contributions to life science research and clinical diagnosis. In recent years, luminescent transition metal complexes have gained significant attention for diagnostic and therapeutic applications due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the recent development of luminescent transition metal complexes for bioimaging and biosensing applications, with a focus on transition metal centers with a d6, d8, and d10 electronic configuration. We elucidate the structure-property relationships of luminescent transition metal complexes, exploring how their structural characteristics can be manipulated to control their biological behavior such as cellular uptake, localization, biocompatibility, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution. Furthermore, we introduce the various design strategies that leverage the interesting photophysical properties of luminescent transition metal complexes for a wide variety of biological applications, including autofluorescence-free imaging, multimodal imaging, organelle imaging, biological sensing, microenvironment monitoring, bioorthogonal labeling, bacterial imaging, and cell viability assessment. Finally, we provide insights into the challenges and perspectives of luminescent transition metal complexes for bioimaging and biosensing applications, as well as their use in disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

Front Chem 2024; 12:1399519.

Abstract
Introduction: Developing a convenient and cost-effective platform for detecting homocysteine (Hcy) is of great interest as Hcy has been found to be a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, gastric cancer, and other diseases. Methods: In this study, we synthesized five phosphorescent Ir(C∧N)2(N∧N)+ compounds (Irn, n = 1-5) with various substituents (-CHO or -CHO/-NH2), which were then doped into a covalent organic framework (COF) host via covalent bonding. Results and Discussion: The resulting optimal composites (denoted as Ir4/5@EBCOF) with -CHO/-NH2 substituents not only overcame the self-quenching issue of the bare Ir4/5 complexes but also showed rapid, highly selective, and sensitive detection of Hcy, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.23 μM and reaction time of 88 s. The sensing mechanism was revealed as the unique cyclization reaction between Ir(III) and Hcy that forms a six-membered ring. During the process, the color changes in the composites can be observed visually. It is expected that these phosphorescent Iridium (III) complexes with COFs will have the potential to serve as promising platforms for detecting thiols.

Abstract
Probing the activity of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is critical for monitoring the metabolism of pharmaceuticals and identifying drug-drug interactions. A library of Ir(III) probes that detect occupancy of the CYP3A4 active site were synthesized and characterized. These probes show selectivity for CYP3A4 inhibition, low cellular toxicity, Kd values as low as 9 nM, and are highly emissive with lifetimes up to 3.8 μs in cell growth media under aerobic conditions. These long emission lifetimes allow for time-resolved gating to distinguish probe from background autofluorescence from growth media and live cells. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed structure-activity relationships and the preference or indifference of CYP3A4 toward resolved stereoisomers. Ir(III)-based probes show emission quenching upon CYP3A4 binding, then emission increases following displacement with CYP3A4 inhibitors or substrates. Importantly, the lead probes inhibit the activity of CYP3A4 at concentrations as low as 300 nM in CYP3A4-overexpressing HepG2 cells that accurately mimic human hepatic drug metabolism. Thus, the Ir(III)-based agents show promise as novel chemical tools for monitoring CYP3A4 active site occupancy in a high-throughput manner to gain insight into drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
Afterglow is superior to other optical modalities for biomedical applications in that it can exclude the autofluorescence background. Nevertheless, afterglow has rarely been applied to the high-contrast "off-to-on" activatable sensing scheme because the complicated afterglow systems hamper the additional inclusion of sensory functions while preserving the afterglow luminescence. Herein, a simple formulation of a multifunctional components-incorporated afterglow nanosensor (MANS) is developed for the superoxide-responsive activatable afterglow imaging of cisplatin-induced kidney injury. A multifunctional iridium complex (Ir-OTf) is designed to recover its photoactivities (phosphorescence and the ability of singlet oxygen-generating afterglow initiator) upon exposure to superoxide. To construct the nanoscopic afterglow detection system (MANS), Ir-OTf is incorporated with another multifunctional molecule (rubrene) in the polymeric micellar nanoparticle, where rubrene also plays dual roles as an afterglow substrate and a luminophore. The multiple functions covered by Ir-OTf and rubrene renders the composition of MANS quite simple, which exhibits superoxide-responsive "off-to-on" activatable afterglow luminescence for periods longer than 11 min after the termination of pre-excitation. Finally, MANS is successfully applied to the molecular imaging of cisplatin-induced kidney injury with activatable afterglow signals responsive to pathologically overproduced superoxide in a mouse model without autofluorescence background.

Abstract
Hepatotoxicity caused by an overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) is the leading reason for acute drug-related liver failure. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a protein that helps to regulate redox homeostasis and coordinate stress responses via binding to the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). Targeting the Keap1-Nrf2 interaction has recently emerged as a potential strategy to alleviate liver injury caused by APAP. Here, we designed and synthesized a number of iridium (III) and rhodium (III) complexes bearing ligands with reported activity against oxidative stress, which is associated with Nrf2 transcriptional activation. The iridium (III) complex 1 bearing a bioactive ligand 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and 4-chloro-2-phenylquinoline, a derivative of the bioactive ligand 2-phenylquinoline, was identified as a direct small-molecule inhibitor of the Keap1–Nrf2 protein-protein interaction. 1 could stabilize Keap1 protein, upregulate HO-1 and NQO1, and promote Nrf2 nuclear translocation in normal liver cells. Moreover, 1 reversed APAP-induced liver damage by disrupting Keap1–Nrf2 interaction and without inducing organ damage and immunotoxicity in mice. Our study demonstrates the identification of a selective and efficacious antagonist of Keap1–Nrf2 interaction possessed good cellular permeability in cellulo and ideal pharmacokinetic parameters in vivo, and, more importantly, validates the feasibility of conjugating metal complexes with bioactive ligands to generate metal-based drug leads as non-toxic Keap1–Nrf2 interaction inhibitors for treating APAP-induced acute liver injury. 1 reversed APAP-induced liver damage by disrupting Keap1–Nrf2 interaction without inducing organ damage or immunotoxicity. Complex 1 possessed good cellular permeability in cellulo and ideal pharmacokinetic parameters in vivo. Conjugating metal complexes with bioactive ligands opens a novel avenue for the treatment of APAP-induced liver damage.

Abstract
A series of cationic cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with o-carborane cage on the main ligand of 2-phenylbenzothiazole were synthesized. The prepared iridium complexes (C1-C6) were fully characterized by UV-vis, NMR, and FT-IR spectra. The exact molecular structure of complex C1 was further studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The different substitution position of o-carborane on the 2-phenylbenzothiazole ring lead to obvious differences in the emission properties of the synthesized complexes. The o-carboranyl unit results in a bathochromic shift of 10 nm in the fluorescence emission spectrum of C2. In addition, the presence of an o-carborane fragment promoted the strong fluorescence intensity of C1 and C4, which can be used as a tool to effectively boost the intensity of fluorescence properties. The emission fluorescent behavior of iridium(III) complexes can be facilely tuned by structural variations in the main ligands of these materials.

Abstract
Thiol-containing amino acids, cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy), play crucial roles in the biosystem; their abnormal contents in the cells are linked to many diseases. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescent iridium(iii) complex-based probe (FNO1) that can detect Cys and Hcy in real-time in the biosystem. Due to the advantages of the iridium complex, the FNO1 probe had excellent chemical stability and photostability, high luminescence efficiency, and long luminescence lifetime. In addition, the probe showed a fast response, high sensitivity, and low cytotoxicity. As verified by high resolution mass spectra (HR-MS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the detection was achieved through the addition of the α,β-unsaturated ketone group in FNO1 by the nucleophilic thiol group in Cys and Hcy. Through time-resolved emission spectroscopy (TRES) and in the presence of a strongly fluorescent dye rhodamine B, the FNO1 probe could detect Cys and Hcy due to its long luminescence lifetime (260/197 ns). Finally, owing to its NIR-emitting properties, the FNO1 probe was successfully applied in the imaging of Cys and Hcy in living cells, zebrafish, and mice.

Abstract
A practical strategy of introducing ortho-methoxyl group was explored to achieve the fluorescence-enhancing and bathochromic-shift bi-functional optimization. It was tested in the Cys sensing ISOPH-X series, thus the successful case, ISOPH-2, was obtained. It realized the optimization in a simple and compatible way. The corresponding strategy was basically established during the confirmation of checkpoints including applicable steadiness (over 24 h), wide pH range (7.0-9.0), rapid response (20 min), good biocompatibility, high sensitivity (LOD = 0.072 nm), high selectivity and biological monitoring of Cys in living cells as well as C. elegans. In this work, the o-methoxyl introduction strategy led to a 15 nm red shift and a near 4-fold fluorescence enhancement. This strategy could be combined with the double bond-introducing approach. Compared with reported strategies, by breaking the dilemma between red shift and strong fluorescent intensity, this strategy might offer beneficial information for exploiting better sensors with more fluorophores and mechanisms for their targets.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging, as a commonly used scientific tool, is widely applied in various biomedical and material structures through visualization technology. Highly selective and sensitive luminescent biological probes, as well as those with good water solubility, are urgently needed for biomedical research. In contrast to the traditional aggregation-caused quenching of fluorescence, in the unique phenomenon of aggregation-induced emission (AIE), the individual luminogens have extremely weak or no emissivity because they each have free intramolecular motion; however, when they form aggregates, these components immediately "light up". Since the discovery of "turn-on" mechanism, researchers have been studying and applying AIE in a variety of fields to develop more sensitive, selective, and efficient strategies for the AIE dyes. There are numerous advantages to the use of AIE-based methods, including low background interference, strong contrast, high performance in intracellular imaging, and the ability for long-term monitoring in vivo. In this review, two typical examples of AIEgens, TPE-Cy and TPE-Ph-In, are described, including their structure properties and applications. Recent progress in the biological applications is mainly focused on. Undoubtedly, in the near future, an increasing number of encouraging and practical ideas will promote the development of more AIEgens for broad use in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is important in biosynthesis, detoxification, and metabolism. The selective detection of Cys over structurally similar homocysteine (Hcy) or glutathione (GSH) remains an immense challenge. Although there are many methods for detecting Cys, photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) techniques are well-suited for clinical diagnostics and analytical technology because of their high sensitivities. Herein, we report PL and ECL dual-channel sensors using cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes for the discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH. The sensors react with cysteine preferentially because of kinetic differences in intramolecular conjugate addition/cyclization, enabling phosphorescence enhancement and ECL decrease in the blue-shifted region. Sensor 1 shows ratiometric PL turn-on and ECL turn-off for Cys. In addition, unique ECL-enhancing behavior of sensor 1 toward GSH enables discrimination between Cys and GSH. Sensor 1 was successfully applied to the detection of Cys in human serum by the ECL method. We demonstrate the first case of a Cys-selective PL and ECL dual-channel chemodosimetric sensor based on cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes and expect that the rational design of efficient PL and ECL dual-channel sensors will be useful in diagnostic technology.

Abstract
Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) is a class of important emerging fluorescent dyes. Due to their unique chemical and optical properties, near infrared (NIR)-emitting BODIPY dyes containing nanoparticles have recently been developed for a wide array of cutting-edge cancer optotheranostic applications. These nanoparticles not only have robust photostability and tunable photophysical properties, but they can also be flexibly tailored to a multitude of functional uses. Based on these outstanding characteristics, such nanoparticles have shown great promise in diagnosis as biological sensors, as well as in their utilization in advanced imaging and photomedicine for cancer treatment. In particular, here, this study first discusses their use as photoswitchable fluorescence probes toward in vitro single-molecule imaging. Second, this study takes a look at their opportunities for photoacoustic imaging utilization. Third, approaches are discussed to construct new NIR-absorbing BODIPY nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Fourth, this study delves into the new approach to use such nanoparticles as an emerging version of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) and their biological uses, such as their photoactivation prodrug therapy (PAPT) for cancer. Finally, new biological sensors based on NIR BODIPY nanoparticles are introduced.

Abstract
The advances in boron incorporated organics have captured overwhelming interest on account of their outstanding properties and promising applications in various fields. Mostly, triarylborane compounds (TAB) are exploited as sensors of F- and CN- anions at the expense of the intrinsic Lewis acidic nature of boron. New molecular probes 1 and 2 for detection of toxic thiophenol were designed by conjugating highly fluorescent borylanilines with the luminescent quencher 2,4-dinitrobenzene based sulfonamides (DNBS), wherein the electrophilicity of the DNBS moiety has been modulated by fine-tuning the intrinsic Lewis acidity of boron. The interplay between PET (photoinduced electron transfer) and ICT have been employed for developing the TAB tethered turn-on fluorescent sensor for thiophenol with high selectivity for the first time. The newly developed probes showed very fast response toward thiophenol (within ∼5 min) with limits of detection (LOD) lying in the micromolar range, clearly pointing to their potential. Further, compounds 1 and 2 were explored for detecting thiophenol in the intracellular environment by discriminating biothiols. DFT and TD-DFT calculations were performed to support the sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis, an infectious disease caused by the Schistosoma parasitic worm, presents a serious public health issue. To date, investigation of anti-Schistosomiasis drug mechanisms through fluorescence imaging remains challenging due to the lack of appropriate dyes as fluorescent probes. Phosphorescent Ir(iii) complexes have been attracting substantial attention among various classes of fluorophores given their excellent photophysical properties. Herein, four phosphorescent Ir(iii) complexes were synthesized, two of which contained a triethylene glycol (TEG) hydrophilic group. The phosphorescent emission range of the four complexes lay between 500 and 750 nm, and their quantum yields ranged from 0.031 to 0.146. Furthermore, under the experimental concentration conditions, the TEG-modified complexes had low cytotoxicity. Cell fluorescence labeling experiments indicated that the TEG-modified complexes had good membrane permeability. Finally, the TEG-modified complexes showed remarkable labeling effects in adult Schistosoma fluorescence imaging. Thus, TEG-modified Ir(iii) complexes could be used as a new class of bilharzial fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Sialic acid (Sia) binding immunoglobulin (Ig)-like lectin-5 (Siglec-5) is a type-I transmembrane protein, and it has been demonstrated as a biomarker of granulocytic maturation and acute myeloid leukemia phenotype. Herein we aimed to construct a method that could sensitively detect Siglec-5 by taking advantage of the high affinity and selectivity of the K19 aptamer for its cognate target, and the selective interaction of luminescent iridium(III) transition metal complexes with G-quadruplex DNA. The iridium(III) complex 1 [Ir(tpyd)2(2,9-dmphen)]PF6 (where tpyd =2-(m-tolyl)pyridine; 2,9-dmphen =2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized, and it displayed high luminescence for G-quadruplex DNA compared to dsDNA and ssDNA. Additionally, complex 1 exhibited a blue shift luminescence response to c-kit2 G-quadruplex, and the interaction between 1 and G-quadruplexes was discussed based on the results of G-tetrad assay, loop effect assay, and other assays. Then complex 1 was utilized to develop a G-quadruplex-based sensing platform for Siglec-5 in aqueous solution. Upon the addition of Siglec-5, the specific binding of the K19 aptamer sequence results in a conformational change that generates a split G-quadruplex structure, which is then recognized by the G-quadruplex-specific iridium(III) complex with an enhanced luminescent response. Futhermore, the use of the assay for detecting Siglec-5 in cellular debris was demonstrated.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a series of 9 luminescent iridium(III) complexes and studied their ability to function as luminescent probes for G-quadruplex DNA. The iridium(III) complex 8 [Ir(pbtz)2(dtbpy)]PF6 (where pbtz = 2-phenylbenzo[d]thiazole; dtbpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) showed high selectivity for G-quadruplex DNA over single-stranded and double-stranded DNA, and was subsequently utilized for the development of a label-free oligonucleotide-based assay for interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), an important biomarker for a range of immune and infectious diseases, in aqueous solution. We further demonstrated that this assay could monitor IFN-γ levels even in the presence of cellular debris. This assay represents the first G-quadruplex-based assay for IFN-γ detection described in the literature.

Abstract
A first investigation into the application of a luminescent osmium(ii) bipyridine complex to live cell imaging is presented. Osmium(ii) (bis-2,2-bipyridyl)-2(4-carboxylphenyl) imidazo[4,5f][1,10]phenanthroline was prepared and conjugated to octaarginine, a cell penetrating peptide. The photophysics, cell uptake and cytotoxicity of this osmium complex conjugate were performed and compared with its ruthenium analogue. Cell uptake and distribution of both ruthenium and osmium conjugates were very similar with rapid transmembrane transport of the osmium probe (complete within approx. 20 min) and dispersion throughout the cytoplasm and organelles. The near-infrared (NIR) emission of the osmium complex (λmax 726 nm) coincides well with the biological optical window and this facilitated luminescent and luminescence lifetime imaging of the cell which was well resolved from cell autofluorescence. The large Stokes shift of the emission also permitted resonance Raman mapping of the dye within CHO cells. Rather surprisingly, the osmium conjugate exhibited very low cytotoxicity when incubated both in the dark and under visible irradiation. This was attributed to the remarkable stability of this complex which was reflected by the complete absence of photo-bleaching of the complex even under extended continuous irradiation. In addition, when compared to its ruthenium analogue its luminescence was short-lived in water therefore rendering it insensitive to O2.

Abstract
In contrast to traditional short-lived fluorescent probes, long-lived phosphorescent probes based on transition-metal complexes can effectively eliminate unwanted background interference by using time-resolved luminescence imaging techniques, such as photoluminescence lifetime imaging microscopy. Hence, phosphorescent probes have become one of the most attractive candidates for investigating biological events in living systems. However, most of them are based on single emission intensity changes, which might be affected by a variety of intracellular environmental factors. Ratiometric measurement allows simultaneous recording of two separated wavelengths instead of measuring mere intensity changes and thus offers built-in correction for environmental effects. Herein, for the first time, a soft salt based phosphorescent probe has been developed for ratiometric and lifetime imaging of intracellular pH variations in real time. Specifically, a pH sensitive cationic complex (C1) and a pH insensitive anionic complex (A1) are directly connected through electrostatic interaction to form a soft salt based probe (S1), which exhibits a ratiometric phosphorescent response to pH with two well-resolved emission peaks separated by about 150 nm (from 475 to 625 nm). This novel probe was then successfully applied for ratiometric and lifetime imaging of intracellular pH variations. Moreover, quantitative measurements of intracellular pH fluctuations caused by oxidative stress have been performed for S1 based on the pH-dependent calibration curve.
