Emissive Ir(III) metal complexes possessing two tridentate chelates (bis-tridentate) are known to be more robust compared to those with three bidentate chelates (tris-bidentate). Here, the deep-blue-emitting, bis-tridentate Ir(III) metal phosphors bearing both the dicarbene pincer ancillary such as 2,6-diimidazolylidene benzene and the 6-pyrazolyl-2-phenoxylpyridine chromophoric chelate are synthesized. A deep-blue organic light-emitting diode from one phosphor exhibits Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE ) coordinates of (0.15, 0.17) with maximum external quantum efficiency (max. EQE) of 20.7% and EQE = 14.6% at the practical brightness of 100 cd m .

A series of dinuclear Ir(III) complexes have been constructed for enhanced photodynamic and photothermal therapy (PDT and PTT) for cisplatin-resistant non-small-cell lung cancer. They enter cells via caveolar endocytosis, target mitochondria but not nuclear, generate both singlet oxygen and superoxide anion, and release heat when exposed to infrared (IR) irradiation, thus inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated cell disruption and thermal ablation. The IR-generated ROS can further activate caspases, triggering apoptosis.

Since the 1980s, pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) has been used as an optical pressure sensor for measuring surface pressure on aircraft models in wind tunnels. Typically, PSPs have utilized platinum(II)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)-porphyrin due to its high pressure sensitivity, phosphorescence lifetime of ∼50 μs, reasonable quantum yield of emission, and resistance to photo-oxidation. This work investigates the photophysics and electronic structure of metal complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)-porphyrin, namely, Zn(II), Pd(II), and Ir(III), as potentially improved luminophores for polymer-based PSPs.

Regioselective -alkylation of benzotriazole is highly important to prepare biological materials. Herein, a series of AB-typed porphyrin and metalloporphyrin compounds were prepared. Catalytic results disclosed that Ir(III) pentafluorophenyl-substituted porphyrin promoted selective -alkylation of benzotriazole, and meanwhile, Fe(III) pyridine-substituted porphyrin accelerated -alkylation of benzotriazole.

The ability of photosensitizers (PSs) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) is crucial for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, many traditional PSs face the drawbacks that aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and highly expressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment seriously limit their ROS generation ability. Herein, we report two cationic dinuclear iridium complexes, and , which possess aggregation-induced emission (AIE).

Article Synopsis
- Half-sandwich iridium(III) complexes are being researched as effective alternatives to platinum-based anticancer drugs, particularly for patients resistant to those treatments.
- In this study, four specially designed iridium complexes with triphenylamine (TPA) modifications showed improved properties for tracking their behavior inside cells and assessing their effects on cell structure.
- The most promising complexes, IrTS1 and IrTS3, exhibited 2.5 times greater anti-cancer activity against lung cancer cells compared to cisplatin, and also maintained effectiveness against cisplatin-resistant cells while inducing cell death through mitochondrial pathways.
