Abstract
The synthesis, structure, optical and redox properties as well as photovoltaic studies of iridium(III) complexes with cyclometalated 2-arylbenzimidazoles decorated with various polyaromatic fragments and an ancillary aromatic β-diketone are reported. Despite the strong preference of the iridium(III) ion to form bis- or tris-cyclometalated complexes in which the metal participates in five-membered metallacycles, the cyclometalation of the benzimidazole ligands containing rigid π-extended systems yields dimeric complexes containing strained five- or six-membered metallacycles and allows for generating an extremely rare monocyclometalated complex. X-ray crystallography shows that the steric strain observed in the dimers is retained in heteroleptic diketonate complexes which is also corroborated by gas-phase DFT calculations. While emission maxima and redox potentials of the heteroleptic complexes exhibit just a moderate variation upon the change of the cyclometalated ligands, the extension of the π-system of the benzimidazole ligands give the complexes remarkable light absorption in the visible spectral range, which meets the requirements for application in dye-sensitized solar cells. At the titania photoanodes, these iridium dyes retain their optical properties and exhibit power conversion efficiencies under standard AM 1.5 G conditions comparable to those of other iridium-based sensitizers. These results demonstrate that the size and position of the π-extended fragment in cyclometalated ligands can modulate not only the electronic structure of the corresponding iridium(III) complexes, but also affect their composition, structure and reactivity that may find implications in future design of emerging iridium dyes, emitters and catalysts.

Abstract
The organic molecule 2-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-6-(3-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)pyridine (H3L) has been designed, prepared, and employed to synthesize the encapsulated-type pseudo-tris(heteroleptic) iridium(III) derivative Ir(κ6-fac-C,C',C″-fac-N,N',N″-L). Its formation takes place as a result of the coordination of the heterocycles to the iridium center and the ortho-CH bond activation of the phenyl groups. Dimer [Ir(μ-Cl)(η4-COD)]2 is suitable for the preparation of this compound of class [Ir(9h)] (9h = 9-electron donor hexadentate ligand), but Ir(acac)3 is a more appropriate starting material. Reactions were carried out in 1-phenylethanol. In contrast to the latter, 2-ethoxyethanol promotes the metal carbonylation, inhibiting the full coordination of H3L. Complex Ir(κ6-fac-C,C',C″-fac-N,N',N″-L) is a phosphorescent emitter upon photoexcitation, which has been employed to fabricate four yellow emitting devices with 1931 CIE (x:y) ∼ (0.52:0.48) and a maximum wavelength at 576 nm. These devices display luminous efficacies, external quantum efficiencies, and power efficacies at 600 cd m-2, which lie in the ranges 21.4-31.3 cd A-1, 7.8-11.3%, and 10.2-14.1 lm W1-, respectively, depending on the device configuration.

Abstract
The preparation of three families of phosphorescent iridium(III) emitters, including iridaoxazole derivatives, hydroxycarbene compounds, and N,C(sp3),C(sp2),O-tetradentate containing complexes, has been performed starting from dimers cis-[Ir(μ2-η2-C≡CR){κ2-C,N-(MeC6H3-py)}2]2 (R = tBu (1a), Ph (1b)). Reactions of 1a with benzamide, acetamide, phenylacetamide, and trifluoroacetamide lead to the iridaoxazole derivatives Ir{κ2-C,O-[C(CH2tBu)NC(R)O]}{κ2-C,N-(MeC6H3-py)}2 (R = Ph (2), Me (3), CH2Ph (4), CF3 (5)) with a fac disposition of carbons and heteroatoms around the metal center. In 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane, water promotes the C-N rupture of the IrC-N bond of the iridaoxazole ring of 3-5 to form amidate-iridium(III)-hydroxycarbene derivatives Ir{κ1-N-[NHC(R)O]}{κ2-C,N-(MeC6H3-py)}2{═C(CH2tBu)OH} (R = Me (6), CH2Ph (7), CF3 (8)). In contrast to 1a, dimer 1b reacts with benzamide and acetamide to give Ir{κ4-N,C,C',O-[py-MeC6H3-C(CH2-C6H4)NHC(R)O]}{κ2-C,N-(MeC6H3-py)}(R = Ph (9), Me (10)), which bear a N,C(sp3),C(sp2),O-tetradentate ligand resulting from a triple coupling (an alkynyl ligand, an amide, and a coordinated aryl group) and a C-H bond activation at the metal coordination sphere. Complexes 2-4 and 6-10 are emissive upon photoexcitation, in orange (2-4), green (6-8), and yellow (9 and 10) regions, with quantum yields between low and moderate (0.01-0.50) and short lifetimes (0.2-9.0 μs).

Abstract
![]()
1-Phenyl-3-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)isoquinoline
(H2MeL) has been prepared by Pd(N-XantPhos)-catalyzed
“deprotonative cross-coupling processes”
to synthesize new phosphorescent red iridium(III) emitters (601–732
nm), including the carbonyl derivative Ir(κ4-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL)Cl(CO)
and the acetylacetonate compound Ir(κ4-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL)(acac). The tetradentate
6e-donor ligand (6tt′) of these complexes is formed by two
different bidentate units, namely, an orthometalated 2-phenylisoquinoline
and an orthometalated 2-benzylpyridine. The link between the bidentate
units reduces the number of possible stereoisomers of the structures
[6tt′ + 3b] (3b = bidentate 3e-donor ligand), with respect
to a [3b + 3b′ + 3b″] emitter containing three free
bidentate units, and it permits a noticeable stereocontrol. Thus,
the isomers fac-Ir(κ4-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL){κ2-C,N-(C6H4-py)}, mer-Ir(κ4-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL){κ2-C,N-(C6H3R-py)}, and mer-Ir(κ4-trans-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL){κ2-C,N-(C6HR-py)} (R =
H, Me) have also been selectively obtained. The new emitters display
short lifetimes (0.7–4.6 μs) and quantum yields in a
doped poly(methyl methacrylate) film at 5 wt % and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran
at room temperature between 0.08 and 0.58. The acetylacetonate complex
Ir(κ4-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL)(acac) has been used as a dopant for a red
PhOLED device with an electroluminescence λmax of
672 nm and an external quantum efficiency of 3.4% at 10 mA/cm2. The proligand 1-phenyl-3-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl)isoquinoline
is used to generate a new family of neutral phosphorescent red iridium(III)
emitters containing a tetradentate ligand, formed by two different
bidentate units, and a third bidentate ligand with a good stereocontrol
of the resulting [6tt′ + 3b] products. One of the new emitters
has been used in the fabrication of an OLED device.

Abstract
The chiral-recognition processes of homoproline (hpro) and [Ir(pq)2(MeCN)2](PF6) (pq is 2-phenylquinoline; MeCN is acetonitrile) are investigated, in favor of formation of the thermodynamically stable diastereomers Λ-[Ir(pq)2(d-hpro)] and Δ-[Ir(pq)2(l-hpro)]. Moreover, the diastereoselective photoreactions of Δ-[Ir(pq)2(d-hpro)] and Δ-[Ir(pq)2(l-hpro)] are reported in the presence of O2 at room temperature. Diastereomer Δ-[Ir(pq)2(l-hpro)] is dehydrogenatively oxidized into imino acid complex Δ-[Ir(pq)2(hpro-2H2)] (hpro-2H2 is 3,4,5,6-tetrahydropicalinate), while diastereomer Δ-[Ir(pq)2(d-hpro)] occurs by interligand C-N cross-coupling and dehydrogenative oxidation reactions, affording three products: Δ-[Ir(pq)(d-pqh)] [pqh is N-(2-phenylquinolin-8-yl)homoproline], Δ-[Ir(pq)2(hpro-2H2)], and Δ-[Ir(pq)2(d-hpro-2H6)] [hpro-2H6 is 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropicalinate]. The C-N cross-coupling and dehydrogenative oxidation reactions are competitive, and the dehydrogenative oxidation reactions are regioselective. By optimization of the photoreaction parameters such as the diastereomeric substrate, solvent, and temperature as well as base, each possible competitive product is selectively controlled. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to elucidate the distinctly chiral recognition between proline and hpro with an iridium(III) complex.

Abstract
Rigid naphthalene benzimidazole (NBI) based ligands (L1 and L2) are synthesized and utilized to make deep red phosphorescent cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes ([Ir(NBI)2(PyPzCF3)] (1) and [Ir(DPANBI)2(PyPzCF3)] (2)). Complexes 1 and 2 are prepared from the reaction of L1/L2 with the aid of ancillary ligands (PyPzCF3, 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine) in a two step method. The complexes are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, as well as X-ray diffraction for 1. These complexes show a strong emission in the range of 635-700 nm that extends up to the near-infrared region (800 nm). The introduction of the diphenylamino (DPA) donor group on the naphthalene unit leads to a further red-shift in the emission. The complexes exhibit radiative quantum efficiency (ΦPL) of 0.27-0.29 in poly(methylmethacrylate) film and relatively short phosphorescence decay lifetimes (τ = 1.1-3.5 μs). The structural, electronic, and optical properties are investigated with the support of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent-DFT calculations. The calculation results indicate that the lowest-lying triplet (T1) excited state of 1 has a mixed metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) and ligand-centered (3LC) character, while 2 shows a dominant 3LC character. Deep red-emitting organic light-emitting diodes fabricated using 1 as a dopant display a maximum external quantum efficiency of 10.9% with the CIE color coordinates of (0.690, 0.294), with an emission centered at 644 and 700 nm. Similarly, the emitter 2 also shows a maximum external quantum efficiency of 6.9% with emissions at 657 and 722 nm.

Abstract
Three new gold(i) alkynyl complexes (Au-ABTF(0-2)) containing a benzothiazole fluorenyl moiety, with either an organic phosphine or N-heterocyclic carbene as ancillary ligand, have been synthesized and photophysically characterized. All three complexes display highly structured ground-state absorption and luminescence spectra. Dual-luminescence is observed in all three complexes at room temperature in toluene after three freeze-pump-thaw cycles. The phosphine complexes (Au-ABTF(0-1)) exhibit similar photophysics with fluorescent quantum yields ∼0.40, triplet-state quantum yields ∼0.50, and fluorescent lifetimes ∼300 ps. The carbene complex Au-ABTF2 displays different behavior; having a fluorescent quantum yield of 0.23, a triplet-state quantum yield of 0.61, and a fluorescent lifetime near 200 ps, demonstrating that the ancillary ligand alters excited-state dynamics. The compounds exhibit strong (on the order of 105 M-1 cm-1) and positive excited-state absorption in both their singlet and triplet excited states spanning the visible region. Delayed fluorescence resulting from triplet-triplet annihilation is also observed in freeze-pump-thaw deaerated samples of all the complexes in toluene. DFT calculations (both static and time-resolved) agree with the photophysical data where phosphine complexes have slightly larger S1-T2 energy gaps (0.28 eV and 0.26 eV) relative to the carbene complex (0.21 eV). Comparison of the photophysical properties of Au-ABTF(0-2) to previously published dinuclear gold(i) complexes and mononuclear gold(i) aryl complexes bearing the same benzothiazole-2,7-fluorenyl moiety are made. Structure-property relationships regarding ancillary ligand, bridging moiety, and number of metal centers are drawn.
