Bioimaging in the Mid-Infrared Using an Organometallic Carbonyl Tag

Abstract
Two stable and water-soluble organometallic carbonyl cluster derivatives have been prepared and shown to enter the cell with ease. The CO stretching vibrations afford strong mid-infrared signals which have been demonstrated, for the first time, to be of utility in cell imaging via an IR microscope.
