Zusammenfassung:The fascinating biological activity of gold coordination compounds has led to the development of a wide range of complexes. The precise biological action of such species is often poorly understood and the ability to map gold distribution in cellular environments is key. This article discusses the recent progress in luminescent Au( i ) complexes whilst considering their utility in bioimaging and therapeutics.
