Description

Metalloglycoclusters, part of the glycocluster family, are an attractive group of functional molecules comprising a metal complex decorated with carbohydrate moieties. Metalloglycoclusters possessing both organic and inorganic components show unique fluorescent, electrochemical and magnetic properties absent in glycoclusters. Despite their unique and diverse functionalities, investigations of metalloglycoclusters have just begun to make progress with the development of applications and methodologies related to biological fields. In this minireview, we describe the potential use of metalloglycoclusters as functional molecules particularly in the light of recent reports (including our reports) pertaining to their application for analyzing carbohydrate binding properties and for imaging living cells.
