We report on the synthesis of a new series of iridium(III) complexes functionalized with various diimine chromophores, together with a facially coordinated dicyclometalated phosphite chelate and a monodentate anionic ancillary. This conceptual design presents a novel strategy in obtaining a new class of iridium(III) diimine complexes without employment of traditional nitrogen-containing polyaromatic cyclometalates. Additionally, we discuss the basic charactersistics of the ground and lower-lying excited states involved, as documented by crystal structural, photophysical studies, and density functional theory calculations. Fabrication of the green-emitting organic light-emitting diodes with one such dopant, [Ir(dbbpy)(tpit)NCS] (2b), where dbbpy and tpit represent di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine and dicyclometalated triphenylphosphite, respectively, was successfully made, attaining a peak external quantum efficiency (η(ext)), a luminance efficiency (η(l)), and a power efficiency (η(p)) of 14.1%, 46.6 cd A(-1), and 39.9 lm W(-1), respectively.

Various coordination complexes have been the subject of experimental and theoretical studies in recent decades because of their fascinating photophysical properties. In this work, a combined experimental and computational approach was applied to investigate the optical properties of monocationic Ir(III) complexes. An interpretative machine learning-based quantitative structure-property relationship (ML/QSPR) model was successfully developed that could reliably predict the emission wavelength of the Ir(III) complexes and provide a foundation for the theoretical evaluation of the optical properties of Ir(III) complexes.

The biological efficacy of half-sandwich platinum group organometallic complexes of the formula [(η-Cp)/(η-arene)M(XY)Cl] (XY = bidentate ligands; Cp = functionalized cyclopentadienyl; M = Ir, Rh, Ru, Os) has received considerable attention due to the significance of the metal center, chelating ligand, and Cp/arene moieties in defining their anticancer potency and selectivity. With a facile access to the BIAN-derived imine-amine ligands using alkylaluminum as the reductant, we herein described the preparation and characterization of 16 half-sandwich Ir(III), Rh(III), and Ru(II) complexes chelating the hybrid sp-N/sp-N donor ligand. A nonplanar five-member metallacycle was confirmed by X-ray single-crystal structures of -, , , , and .

Five novel bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes (Ir-1−Ir-5) incorporating versatile N^N^C ligands and a N^C^N ligand (1,3-di(2-pyridyl)-4,6-dimethylbenzene) were synthesized. With the combination of experimental and theoretical methods, their steady and transient state characteristics were researched scientifically. The UV-visible absorption spectra show that the broadband charge transfer absorbance of those bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes can reach 550 nm, all of these complexes reveal the long-lasting phosphorescent emission.

Phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes have been extensively investigated as cellular imaging reagents and sensors. The intracellular localization of the complexes is known to be closely related to their formal charge, molecular size, lipophilicity, and bioactive pendants. Herein, we reported four phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes with the diimine ligands being modified with ester or amide groups as imaging reagents for living cells.

The synthesis, photophysics and reverse saturable absorption of two cationic dinuclear Ir(III) complexes bearing fluorenyl-tethered 2-(quinolin-2-yl)quinoxaline (quqo) ligands are reported in this paper. The two complexes possess intense and featureless diimine ligand localized ILCT (intraligand charge transfer)/π,π* absorption bands at 330 and 430 nm, and a weak MLCT (metal-to-ligand charge transfer)/LLCT (ligand-to-ligand charge transfer) absorption band at >500 nm. Both complexes exhibit weak dual phosphorescence at 590 nm and 710 nm, which are attributed to the ILCT/π,π* and MLCT/LLCT states, respectively.
