Two cationic iridium(Ⅲ) complexes, [(pqcm)2Ir(pybz)](PF6) (Ir1) and [(pqcm)2Ir(apybz)](PF6) (Ir2) (pqcmH = 2-phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester, pybz = 2-pyridyl-benzimidazole, apybz =...Two cationic iridium(Ⅲ) complexes, [(pqcm)2Ir(pybz)](PF6) (Ir1) and [(pqcm)2Ir(apybz)](PF6) (Ir2) (pqcmH = 2-phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester, pybz = 2-pyridyl-benzimidazole, apybz = 1-allyl-2-pyridyl-benzimidazole), were readily synthesized from the reaction of IrⅢ-μ-chloro-bridged dimer [Ir(pqcm)2(Cl)]2 and corresponding ancillary ligands, and characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopies. The structure of It2 was also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The photophysical properties of the two complexes were also investigated. Irl shows deep red emission peaked at around 652 nm with the phosphorescence quantum yield of ca. 0.29 and the emission lifetime of 233 ns, while Ir2 shows red emission peaked at around 615 nm with the phosphorescence quantum yield of ca. 0.13 and the emission lifetime of 430 ns. The active hydrogen on pybz ligand is believed to have a great influence on the photophysical properties of Ir1.展开更多

A new cyclometalated iridium(Ⅲ) complex [Ir(2-pq)2(HPIP)]C1 (lrl, 2-pq=3-phenylisoquinoline, HPIP= 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f] 1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized and applied to image mitochondria in...A new cyclometalated iridium(Ⅲ) complex [Ir(2-pq)2(HPIP)]C1 (lrl, 2-pq=3-phenylisoquinoline, HPIP= 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f] 1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized and applied to image mitochondria in living cells. 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

It is important to monitor intracellular p H fluctuations for understanding physiological and pathological processes.Here, one aldehyde-bearing cyclometalated iridium(Ⅲ) complex([(4-pba)_(2)Ir(dcphen)]PF_(6), 4-pba = 4-(2-pyridyl) benzaldehyde, dcphen = 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline, probe 1) was synthesized and used to track intracellular p H fluctuations. Probe 1 displayed p H-dependent luminescence property in p H range of 1.81–6.81 with an evaluated p Kavalue of 4.30 in BR buffer-DMSO(v:v = 99:1). An intramolecular hydrogen bonds assisted p H-responsive mechanism was proposed for the p H-responsive behavior of probe1. Probe 1 was successfully applied for imaging and tracking p H fluctuations in He La cells under external stimulation with fast response time, good photostability as well as low cytotoxicity and high cell permeability. This work demonstrates that aldehyde-bearing cyclometalated iridium(Ⅲ) complex can be used as alternative p H-responsive probe for real-time tracking intracellular p H fluctuations, which provides a strategy for the design of p H-responsive probe in versatile applications.展开更多
