Abstract

A first generation machine-assisted approach towards the preparation of hybrid ligand/metal materials has been explored. A comparison of synthetic approaches demonstrates that incorporation of both flow chemistry and microwave heating, can be successfully applied to the rapid synthesis of a range of new phenyl-1H-pyrazoles (ppz) substituted with electron withdrawing groups (-F, -CF3, -OCF3, -SF5), and these, in turn, can be translated in to heteroleptic complexes, [Ir(ppz)2(bipy)]BF4 (bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine). Microwave-assisted syntheses for the IrIII complexes allows isolation of spectroscopically pure species in less than 1 hour of reaction time from IrCl3. All new complexes have been explored photophysically (including nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy), electrochemically and by TD-DFT studies which show that the complexes possess ligand-dependent, and thus, tuneable green-yellow luminescence (500-560 nm), with quantum yields in the range 5-15 %.
