A first pyclen-based ligand bearing two picolinate intra-ligand charge transfer transition antenna and one acetate arm organized in a dissymmetric manner was synthesized for Eu(III) and Sm(III) complexation and to form highly luminescent and stable one- and two-photon lanthanide bioprobes employed in 2P imaging of (PFA)-fixed T24-cells.
