Abstract
This chapter, which is in two parts, focuses on the discussion of select examples of targeting supramolecular imaging agents that have been recently developed and are either luminescent or paramagnetic in their nature and can be employed for use in luminescent or magnetic resonance bio-imaging, respectively. The emphasis is to demonstrate how, often, simple supermolecules can be made highly targeting for imaging and their application is discussed.
