ABSTRAKT

Biscyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with an ancillary acetylacetone ligand, Ir(L)(2)(acac), (L = 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)pyridine (btp), 1-phenylisoquinoline (piq), 2-phenylbenzothiazole (bt), 2-phenylpyridine (ppy), acac = deprotonated acetylacetone), demonstrate spectroscopic changes in their UV-Vis absorption and luminescent emission under acidic conditions. Such changes were found to be the same as those observed when certain mercury salts exist in the systems. Because some iridium(III) complexes have sulfur-containing ligands (i.e., btp and bt), a question was then raised as for whether or not the spectroscopic changes are associated with the specific affinity of Hg(2+) to the sulfur atom. Extensive studies performed in this work unambiguously proved that the observed spectroscopic changes were solely the results of the acid induced departure of acac and the follow-up coordination of solvent acetonitrile to the iridium(III) center and that the generally anticipated Hg(2+)-S affinity and its effect on the photophysical properties of iridium(III) luminophores did not play a role.
