An iridium(III)-palladium(II) metal−organic cage for efficient mitochondria-targeted photodynamic therapy

This study presents the first case of Ir-based metal-organic cages for bio-applications in successful integration of imaging diagnosis and photodynamic therapyGraphical abstractAn Ir8Pd4-heteronuclear metal − organic cage (MOC-51) was assembled from bipodal metalloligand [Ir(ppy)2(qpy)(BF4)] with Pd(II) salt, which presents the first case of Ir-based metal-organic cages for bio-applications in successful integration of imaging diagnosis and photodynamic therapy.
