Abstract

Six disubstituted ligands based upon 2-(2¢-pyridinyl/pyrazinyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acids have been synthesised, solvent-free, in one step from a range of commercially available isatin derivatives. These species behave as ancilllary chelating ligands for Ir(III) complexes of the form [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]PF6 (where C^N = cyclometalating ligand; N^N = 2-(2¢-pyridinyl/pyrazinyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acids). An X-ray crystallographic study on one complex shows a distorted octahedral geometry wherein a cis-C,C and trans-N,N coordination mode is observed. DFT calculations predicted that changing the N^N ligand from 2,2¢-bipyridine to L1-6 should localise the LUMO on to the Ln ligand and that the complexes are predicted to display MLCT/LLCT character. All complexes displayed luminescence in the deep red part of the visible region (674-679 nm) and emit from triplet states, but with little apparent tuning as a function of L1-6. Further time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy supports the participation of these triplet states to the excited state character.
