What is it about?
Over the last few years, luminescent Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes have been increasingly proposed as fluorophores suitable for fluorescence microscopy to visualize biological structures and cells. In this sense, incorporating an asymmetrical pyridine Schiff base (PSB) as the ancillary ligand strongly modifies the staining and luminescent properties of Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes.

Why is it important?
Over the last few years, luminescent Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes have been increasingly proposed as fluorophores suitable for fluorescence microscopy to visualize biological structures and cells.
Perspectives
This study could predict Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes' properties, considering the desired emission features for biological and other applications.
