Microwave Assisted Synthesis of a New Triplet Iridium（Ⅲ） Pyrazine Complex

A new cyclometalated iridium（IlI） complex Ir（DPP）3 （DPP=2,3-diphenylpyrazine） was prepared by reaction of DPP with iridium trichloride hydrate under microwave irradiation. The structure of the complex was confirmed by elemental analysis, ^1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescent properties of the complex were investigated. The complex shows strong ^1MLCT （singlet metal to ligand charge-transfer） and aMLCT （triplet metal to ligand charge-transfer） absorption at 382 and 504 nm, respectively. The complex also shows strong photoluminescence at 573 nm at room temperature. These results suggest the complex to be a promising phosphorescent material.

Phosphorescent Cationic Iridium（Ⅲ） Complexes with 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Cyclometalating Ligands： Solvent-Dependent Excited-State Dynamics

To elucidate the nature of low-lying triplet states and the effect of ligand modifica- tions on the excited-state properties of functional cationic iridium complexes, the solvent- dependent excited-state dynamics of two phosphorescent cationic iridium（Ⅲ） complexes, namely [Ir（dph-oxd）2（bpy）]PF6 （1） and [Ir（dph-oxd）2（pzpy）]Pf6 （2）, were investigated by femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Upon photoexcitation to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer （MLCT） states, the excited-state dynamics shows a rapid process （τ-=0.7-3 ps） for the formation of solvent stabilized 3MLCT states, which significantly depends on the solvent polarity for both 1 and 2. Sequentially, a relatively slow process assigned to the vibrational cooling/geometrical relaxation and a long-lived phospho- rescent emissive state is identified. Due to the different excited-state electronic structures regulated by ancillary ligands, the solvation-induced stabilization of the 3MLCT state in 1 is faster than that in 2. The present results provide a better sight of excited-state relaxation dynamics of ligand-related iridium（Ⅲ） complexes and solvation effects on triplet manifolds.

Solid-state electrochemiluminescence of a novel iridium(Ⅲ) complex

Synthesis and optophysical properties of blue-emitting iridium (Ⅲ) complex bearing oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative

An iridium （Ⅲ） bis[（4,6-difluorophenyl）pyridinato-N, C^2][6-（6＇-（4＂-（ 5＂-phenyl- 1＂, 3＂, 4＂-oxadiazole-2＂-yl） phenoxy） hexyloxy picolinate） was synthesized and characterized by IH NMR and elementary analysis in order to study the effect of ancillary ligand of the oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative on optophysical properties of its iridium complex, and further to obtain an iridium complex with highly-efficient blue emission. The thermal stability, UV absorption and photoluminescent properties of this iridium complex were investigated. Compared with iridium （Ⅲ） bis[（4,6-difluorophenyl）pyridinato-N, C^2]（picolinate） reported as a highly-efficient blue electroluminescent material, this iridium complex bearing an oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative presents higher thermal stability, more intense UV absorption at 291 nm and similar photoluminescent spectrum peaked at 469 nm. This indicates that tuning ancillary ligand of picolinic acid with an oxadiazole unit can improve the optophysical properties of its iridium complex.

Impact of Cr(Ⅲ)complexation with organic acid on its adsorption in silts and fine sands

Trivalent chromium(Cr(Ⅲ))can form stable soluble complexes with organic components,altering its adsorption properties in the water-soil environment.This increases the risk of Cr(Ⅲ)migrating to deeper soils and transforming into toxic Cr(VI)due to the presence of manganese oxides in sediments.In this study,Citric Acid(CA)was selected as a representative organic ligand to prepare and characterize Cr(III)-CA complexes.The characteristics,mechanisms and environmental factors influencing the adsorption of Cr(Ⅲ)-CA on porous media(silts and fine sands)were investigated in the study.The results show that Cr(Ⅲ)coordinates with CA at a 1:1 molar ratio,forming stable and soluble Cr(Ⅲ)-CA complexes.Compared to Cr(III)ions,the equilibrium adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅲ)-CA is an order of magnitude lower in silts and fine sands.The adsorption of Cr(Ⅲ)-CA in silts and fine sands is dominated by chemical adsorption of monolayers,following the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model.Varying contents of clay minerals and iron-aluminum oxides prove to be the main causes of differences in adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅲ)-CA in silts and fine sands.Changes in solution pH affect the adsorption rate and capacity of Cr(Ⅲ)-CA by altering its ionic form.The adsorption process is irreversible and only minimally influenced by ionic strength,suggesting that inner-sphere complexation serves as the dominant Cr(Ⅲ)-CA adsorption mechanism.

Meanwhile, a maximum current efficiency of 62.6 cd/A （47.51m/W） is obtained. This result is higher than a maximum current efficiency of 54.8 cd/A （431m/W） of the Ir（ppy）a based device.
