Abstract

(Figure Presented) Gold lights the way: A bidentate cyclophane N-heterocyclic carbene ligand has been used to synthesize a new dinuclear Au^I complex of the formula [Au₂L₂] ²⁺. The short Au⋯Au distance imposed by the rigid cyclophane ligand leads to a red-shifted luminescence profile that enables the complex to be used as a luminescent probe for distribution studies in single living cancer cells.
