Exploration of the Structural and Photophysical Characteristics of Mono- and Binuclear Ir(III) Cyclometalated Complexes for Optoelectronic Applications.

Intrinsic characteristics possessed and exhibited by Ir(III) cyclometalated complexes need to be further examined, understood, and explored for greater value enhancement and potentiation. This work focuses primarily on the comparative studies of the ligand structures, types, and their substituent influence on the photophysical and optoelectronic properties of typical cyclometalated mono- and binuclear iridium(III) complexes in solution or solid states.

4,6,8-Triarylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde derivatives: synthesis and photophysical properties.

Palladium catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 6,8-dibromo-4-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde with arylboronic and arylvinylboronic acid derivatives in the presence of potassium carbonate in aqueous dioxane afforded the corresponding 4,6,8-triarylquinoline-3-carbaldehydes, exclusively. These products were transformed into 4,6,8-triaryl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)amino)-N-(quinolin-3-yl)methylenes and their 4,6,8-triaryl-quinoline-3-methanol derivatives. The absorption and emission spectra were measured for the 4,6,8-triarylquinoline-3-carbaldehydes and their derivatives in selected solvents of different polarity.
