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.展开更多

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.展开更多

Irl displayed excellent ability to selectively accumulate in mitochondria of live cells with no requirement of replacement of the culture medium. Due to Irl exhibiting better photostability than the commercially available mitochondrial trackers, this complex could be applicable for the imaging and tracking of the mitochondrial mor- phological changes over long periods of time. In addition, in vitro cytotoxicity investigation revealed that it! showed negligible cytotoxicity at the concentrations employed. Based on these, Irl is suitable for organelle-selective imaging in living cells.展开更多

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.展开更多
