Abstract

This account covers the synthesis and biological applications of organoseleno- and organotelluro-based molecular dyes. The most relevant applications for photodynamic therapy (PDT), fluorescent probes for the detection of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS), natural bioreductors like glutathione (GSH) and metals present in physiological systems will be discussed. This manuscript covers only dyes bearing small selenium- and tellurium-containing heterocycles. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (AU)
