The combination of the long‐lived, spectrally pure emission of Yb III ions with the outstanding light‐absorbing capabilities of organic dyes gives photoluminescent lanthanide complexes that are interesting candidates for use as a new class of luminescent labels for molecules of biomedical interest. The water‐soluble complex shown can be covalently attached to biomolecules and used in a model medical diagnostic test.
