Herein we report the synthesis and photophysical study of tris-heteroleptic complexes of the general formula IrLL'(acac), where L and L' are two differently substituted 2-phenylpyridines (ppyH) and acacH is 2,4-pentanedione, using a combinatorial approach that could be employed for many ligand combinations. The tris-heteroleptic complexes and the analogous bis-heteroleptic complexes of the form IrL(2)(acac) have been studied by a combination of absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies in conjunction with modelling by DFT and TD-DFT to elucidate the nature and location of the excited state in the novel species.

Two dual fluorescent/phosphorescent tris-heteroleptic mononuclear Ru(ΙΙ) complexes ( and ) were designed and applied in amyloid-β (Aβ) sensing. These complexes have a general formula of [Ru(phen)(dppz)()](PF), where is (2-pyrazinyl)(2-pyridyl)(methyl)amine (H-) with different substituents (-OMe for , -H for ), phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, and dppz is dipyridophenazine, respectively. Compared with the previously reported ratiometric probe with a di(pyrid-2-yl)(methyl)amine ligand, complex can be employed for not only ratiometric emissive detection of Aβ aggregation but also ratiometric imaging detection of Aβ fibrils.

The organic molecule 2-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-6-(3-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)pyridine () has been designed, prepared, and employed to synthesize the encapsulated-type -tris(heteroleptic) iridium(III) derivative Ir(κ-'L). Its formation takes place as a result of the coordination of the heterocycles to the iridium center and the -CH bond activation of the phenyl groups. Dimer [Ir(μ-Cl)(η-COD)] is suitable for the preparation of this compound of class [Ir(9h)] (9h = 9-electron donor hexadentate ligand), but Ir(acac) is a more appropriate starting material.

-heteroleptic cyclometalated iridium complexes of the form Ir(L)(acac), where L is a substituted 2-phenylpyridine derivative and acac is an acetylacetonato ligand, are a useful class of luminescent organometallic complexes for a range of applications. Related -heteroleptic complexes of the form Ir(L)(L)(acac) offer the potential advantage of greater functionality through the use of two different cyclometalated ligands but are, in general, more difficult to obtain. We report the synthesis of divergent - and -heteroleptic triisopropylsilylethynyl-substituted intermediate complexes that can be diversified using a "chemistry-on-the-complex" approach.

Five cationic iridium(III) complexes (-) were synthesized exploiting two triazole-based cyclometalating ligands, namely, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1-1,2,3-triazole () and the corresponding mesoionic carbene 1,3-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (). From the combination of these two ligands and the ancillary one, i.e.

Two new tris-heteroleptic Ru(ii) complexes with triphenylphosphine (PPh) coordination, -[Ru(phen)(PPh)(CHCN)] (1a, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) and -[Ru(biq)(phen)(PPh)(CHCN)] (2a, biq = 2,2'-biquinoline), were synthesized and characterized for photochemotherapeutic applications. Upon absorption of visible light, 1a exchanges a CHCN ligand for a solvent water molecule. Surprisingly, the steady-state irradiation of 2a followed by electronic absorption and NMR spectroscopies reveals the photosubstitution of the PPh ligand.
