Transition and lanthanide metal complexes have rich photophysical properties that can be used for cellular imaging, biosensing and phototherapy. One of the applications of such luminescent compounds is the detection and visualisation of nucleic acids. In this brief review, we survey the recent literature on the use of luminescent metal complexes (including ReI, RuII, OsII, IrIII, PtII, EuIIIand TbIII) as DNA optical probes, including examples of compounds that bind selectively to non-duplex DNA topologies such as quadruplex,i-motif and DNA mismatches. We discuss the applications of metal-based luminescent complexes in cellular imaging, including time-resolved microscopy and super-resolution techniques. Their applications in biosensing and phototherapy are briefly mentioned in the relevant sections.
