Abstract

We examine [Ir(df-ppy)2(pt-TEG)]+ as the first highly water soluble, blue-luminescent iridium(III) complex for chemiluminescence detection. Marked differences in selectivity were observed between the new complex and the conventional [Ru(bpy)3]2+ reagent, which will enable this mode of detection to be extended to new areas of application.
