Monitoring of oxygenation is important for physiological experiments investigating the growth, differentiation and function of individual cells in 3D tissue models. Phosphorescence based O-2 sensing and imaging potentially allow this task; however, current probes do not provide the desired bio-distribution and analytical performance. We present several new cell-penetrating phosphorescent conjugates of a Pt(II)-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphine (PtPFPP) dye produced by click-modification with thiols, and perform their evaluation as O-2 imaging probes for 3D tissue models. The hydrophilic glucose (Pt-Glc) and galactose (Pt-Gal) conjugates demonstrated minimal aggregation and self-quenching in aqueous media, and efficient in-depth staining of different cell types and multi-cellular aggregates at working concentrations
