Abstract:
A copper iodide complex coordinated by three phosphine ligands with the formula [Cu2 I2 (Ph2 PC2 (C6 H4 )C2 PPh2 )3 ] exhibits solvatochromic and vapochromic luminescence properties. A mechanism based on solvent-dependent molecular motion appears to occur. The highly contrasted response observed upon THF solvent exposure makes this complex an appealing candidate for chemical sensor applications.

Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
