Aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission (AIPE) of iridium(iii) complexes†
Abstract
A novel aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission (AIPE) was observed for iridium(III) complexes. This interesting phenomenon was attributed to the intermolecular packing, resulting in a switch from the non-emissive 3LX excited state to the emissive 3MLLCT transition, which is confirmed by
