Three cationic iridium complexes containing 4,7-bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (L(1)) and 4,7-bis(3',6'-di-tert-butyl-6-(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-3,9'-bi(9H-carbazol)-9-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (L(2)) as the ancillary ligands, namely, [Ir(ppy)(2)(L(1))]PF(6) (1), [Ir(ppy)(2)(L(2))]PF(6) (2) and [Ir(oxd)(2)(L(2))]PF(6) (3) (ppy is 2-phenylpyridine, oxd is 2...

Iridium(III) hydrido complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based pincer ligand 1,3-bis(1-butylimidazolin-2-ylidene)phenyl anion (C(1)^C^C(1)) or 1,3-bis(3-butylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene)phenyl anion (C(2)^C^C(2)) and aromatic diimine (2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy), or dipyrido-[3,2-f:2',3'-h]-quinoxaline (dpq)) in the form o...

Chemiluminescence (CL) of a cyclometallated iridium (III) complex {tris[1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)phthalazine]iridium(III)} in the presence of potassium permanganate and oxalic acid is reported for the first time. Cysteine exhibits sufficient enhancing effect on the CL generated from the cyclometallated iridium(III) complex, which make it possible for the sensitive detection of ...

A cell permeable cyclometalated iridium(III) complex has been developed as a phosphorescent probe for cell imaging. The iridium(III) solvato complex [Ir(phq)2(H2O]2)] preferentially stains the cytoplasm of both live and dead cells with a bright luminescence.

This work reports the synthesis and characterization of the first water-soluble iridium porphyrin, iridium(iii) diaqua porphyrin [Ir(III)(TSPP)(OH(2))(2)](3-) (1, TSPP = tetra-p-sulfonatophenyl porphyrin). The structure of 1 was unequivocally determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Benzo-18-crown-6-ether is essential for producing single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.

A new dimension in pincer chemistry: organometallic chemistry of iridium complexes the phosphine-based macrocyclic ligand PNP-14.

A set of bimetallic complexes based on iridium and rhodium with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane, bis(di-iso-propylphosphino)methane, diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine 2-(di-iso-propylphosphino)imidazole bridging ligands was prepared. The were characterized by NMR IR spectroscopy studied quantum-chemically using DFT methods. systems succeeded in catalytic hydrodefluorination reactions lower fluorinated ...
