Abstract

A thioester-terminated di-imine ligand (L 1 ) reacts with [(ppy)2Ir-(μ-Cl)2-Ir(ppy)2] (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) in 2-methoxyethanol followed by ion exchange to give [Ir(ppy) 2 (L 1 )]PF 6 (Ir-L 1 ), a cationic iridium(III) biscyclometalated complex functionalised with a thioester-terminated alkyl chain on the ancillary bipyridine ligand. X-ray crystallographic data confirm that L 1 is coordinated in a bidentate fashion with an octahedral arrangement of ligands around iridium with retention of the thioester moiety. [Ir(ppy) 2 (L 1 )]PF 6 was found to be luminescent with 3MLCT emission observed at 611 nm (τ = 71 ns). [Ir(ppy) 2 (L 1 )]PF 6 was attached to small-diameter silver nanoparticles to yield visibly luminescent Ir–SNP hybrid conjugates (confirmed by TEM and EDX measurements) with retention of the 3MLCT emission, blue-shifted by 13 nm.
