Description
Summary:A number of metal complexes, including hydroxyquinolines, phthalocyanines, porphyrins, chlorophyls, and others, phosphoresce at room temperature in the presence of macromolecular assemblies such as micelles, vesicles, proteins, and nucleic acids. The aim of this review is to illustrate the applicability of these systems to a variety of analytical problems through the discussion of representative examples. Finally, recent developments and likely prospects in the field of room temperature phosphorescent complexes, such as probes of vascular disorders, are also considered.
