Cationic iridium(III) complexes for phosphorescence staining in the cytoplasm of living cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cationic iridium(III) complexes with bright green and red emissions were demonstrated as phosphorescent dyes for living cell imaging. In particular, their exclusive staining in cytoplasm, low cytotoxicity and reduced photobleaching, as well as cell membrane permeability, make the two complexes promising candidates for the design of specific bioimaging agents.

Carborane tuning of photophysical properties of phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes.
Both neutral and cationic iridium(III) complexes containing carborane units were synthesized. Bulky carboranes can significantly improve phosphorescence quantum yields of these complexes and the electronic effect of carboranes can evidently tune emission wavelengths of cationic complexes.

We report on four cationic iridium(III) complexes [Ir(C^N)2(dtBubpy)](PF6) that have sulfur pentafluoride-modified 1-phenylpyrazole and 2-phenylpyridine cyclometalating (C^N) ligands (dtBubpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridyl). Three of the complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. In cyclic voltammetry, the complexes undergo reversible oxidation of iridium(III)...

Two cationic cyclometallated iridium(III) complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine-acylhydrazone were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and photophysical measurements. They exhibit remarkable aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission (AIPE) phenomenon which is caused by the restriction of rapid isomerization of the C=N bond in the acylhydrazone moiety and are supported by TD-DFT studies. T...
متن کاملReversible piezochromic behavior of two new cationic iridium(III) complexes.
We demonstrate that two new cationic Ir(III) complexes exhibit an interesting piezochromism, and their emission color can be smartly switched by grinding and heating. This is the first example that the Ir(III) complexes display piezochromic phosphorescence.

Ten cationic heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes, [Ir(emptz)2(N^N)](PF6) were prepared from a cyclometalated iridium bridged-chloride dimer involving two ethyl-4-methylphenylthiazole-5-carboxylate (emptz) ligands. One X-ray crystallographic study was undertaken where the ancillary N^N ligand was 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and revealed the anticipated structure, showing a distorted octahed...
