Biscyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with an ancillary acetylacetone ligand, Ir(L)(2)(acac), (L = 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)pyridine (btp), 1-phenylisoquinoline (piq), 2-phenylbenzothiazole (bt), 2-phenylpyridine (ppy), acac = deprotonated acetylacetone), demonstrate spectroscopic changes in their UV-Vis absorption and luminescent emission under acidic conditions. Such changes were found to ...

Iridium(III) complexes with intense phosphorescence in solution have been widely applied in organic light-emitting diodes, chemosensors and bioimaging. However, little attention has been paid to iridium(III) complexes showing weak phosphorescence in solution and enhanced phosphorescence emission in the solid state (EPESS). In the present study, two β-diketonate ligands with different degrees of...

A new synthetic method has been developed for the preparation of unexpected emissive iridium(III) complexes ( and B ), directly obtained from established [Ir(ppy) 2 (µ-Cl)] dimer, under reaction conditions in which...

lanthanide(iii) chloro complexes of 4[n-(4’-hydroxy-3’-methoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (hmbaaps) (i) and 4[n-(3’,4’,5’-trimethoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (tmbaaps) (ii) with the general composition lncl3.2l (ln = la, pr, nd, sm, gd, tb, dy or ho; l = hmbaaps or tmbaaps) are reported. all the complexes were synthesized in ethanolic medium and refluxed the ...

The reactivity of different heteroscorpionate ligands based on bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane, with different iridium-(i) and -(iii) precursors is reported. The reaction of the heteroscorpionate lithium salts "Li(bdmpza)", [bdmpza = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate], "Li(bdmpzdta)" [bdmpzdta = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate] and "Li(S)-mbpam" [(S)-mbpam = (S)-(-)-N-α-methylbenzyl-2,2-...

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)...

In the neutral mononuclear iridium(III) title compound, [Ir(C(8)H(7)ClNO)(C(11)H(8)N)(2)], the Ir(III) atom adopts an octa-hedral geometry, and is coordinated by two 2-phenyl-pyridyl ligands and one anionic 4-chloro-acetanilide ligand. The 2-phenyl-pyridyl ligands are arranged in a cis-C,C' and cis-N,N' fashion. Each 2-phenyl-pyridyl ligand forms a five-membered ring with the Ir(III) atom. The ...

Two phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes conjugated to a lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cation moiety, IrMitoOlivine and IrMitoNIR, were synthesized. The complexes show high mitochondria-specificity and relatively lower cytotoxicity. Time-lapse confocal imaging indicates that both complexes exhibit an excellent anti-photobleaching capability under continuous laser irradiation.
