Abstract:Polyoxometalates (POMs), that are well‐defined metal‐oxygen cluster anions, are functional molecules extensively used in various research applications. The synthesis of neutral purpurinimides, followed by conversion to cationic purpurinimides (CPIs), formed CPI–POM supramolecular complexes via electrostatic interactions between each CPI and the polyanionic POM. The cellular uptake of purpurinimides, CPIs, and their CPI–POMs in A549 and HeLa cell lines was confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. CPIs s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
