- Description: 3-Chloromethylpyridyl bipyridine fac-tricarbonyl rhenium is a mitochondrion-selective metal-to-ligand charge transfer rhenium dye, that has been designed for a specific biological target. It has the advantage of a long lifetime and a large Stokes shift, which makes it an attractive candidates for biological imaging.
