Abstract
Photoacoustic signal detection has been used to build a new strategy to determine the mesoscale self-assembly of metal nanoparticles in terms of size distribution and aggregate packing density (metal nanoparticle filling factor). A synergistic approach integrating photoacoustic signal and theoretical studies, validated by conventional light scattering and electron microscopy techniques, allows us to obtain a well-defined morphological interpretation of nanoparticle-based super-aggregates. By pumping light in a complex system, the acousto-thermal effect was listened to, providing information on the aggregation phenomena. Super-aggregates of covalently interconnected silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) functionalized with an organometallic dithiol are identified in solution, as a proof of concept for the versatility of the photoacoustic approach. According to our results, tiny AgNPs (size less than 10 nm) assembled into a 3D-network of super-aggregates (SA-AgNPs) with sizes in the range 100-200 nm and a filling factor in the range of 30-50%. Low-cost, rapid, and easy photoacoustic measurement in the low frequency range (less than 100 Hz) was revealed to be an innovative method to characterize the fundamental structure/property correlation of metal nanoparticle super-aggregates. This morpho-optical approach, which uses the absorption and scattering properties of nanoparticles in the liquid phase, opens new perspectives for advanced biomedical and structural applications.

Abstract
A new 2-phenylpyridine-type (ppy-type) ligand with the dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]phosphole oxide (DTPO) group has been successfully synthesized. Based on this novel ligand, three cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes (P-Ir-P, P-Ir-T and P-Ir-C) are synthesized with symmetrical and unsymmetrical structures. Photophysical results reveal that these cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes can show weak near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescence emission with wavelengths of 739 nm for P-Ir-P, 750 nm for P-Ir-T and 746 nm for P-Ir-C. Importantly, transient absorption characterization shows that these cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes can exhibit strong excited state absorption in the range of ca. 520 to 700 nm, indicating their optical power limiting (OPL) potential in this wavelength range. Open-aperture Z-scan against a 532 nm laser shows their OPL ability in the order of P-Ir-P > P-Ir-C > P-Ir-T. Complex P-Ir-P shows an even better OPL ability than the state-of-the-art OPL material C60, indicating the important potential application of these cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes as new OPL materials.
