Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods for live-cell imaging, compositions for performing the live cell imaging, and methods for making the composition. The method may comprise contacting a cell with an effective amount of a catenane, irradiating the cell, and detecting exciplex emission from the catenane within the cell. The catenane may comprise two mechanically interlocked macrocycles, each of the two macrocycles comprise an aromatic fluorophore subunit, and the aromatic fluorophores are arranged in a face-to-face [π . . . π] stack allowing for the exciplex emission.
