Emission decay parameters for Δ- and Λ-D4 (5μM) measured by time-resolved emission and FLIM in calf thymus DNA (30 μM), phospholipid vesicles (LUV) (150 μM), and Bovine serum albumin (50 μM). Presented data are for air-equilibrated samples.

a

α2=(f22)/((f11)+(f22))

b

The multi-frequency fit is reproduced by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm28, and the goodness-of-fit parameter χ2 is calculated as explained in reference 22 and in Supporting Information.

c

Quantum yields, Φ, are calculated by using the absolute value of 7.72 for Ru(phen)2dppz(CH3)2 2+ in 1,2-propanediol as reference.29

d

Apparent lifetimes are calculated as τ¯=αiτi
