Novel di- and trinuclear cationic iridium(III) complexes with flexible chain functionalized triazole–pyridine moieties as bridging ligands, namelyDC-IrandTC-Ir, were successfully synthesized and their photophysical and electrochemical properties studied. DespiteDC-IrandTC-Irhave different numbers of iridium(III) cores, the almost identical emissions in both solutions and aggregation states were observed. Theoretical calculations were performed to investigate their electronic structures and rationalize the photophysical and electrochemical behaviors. Compared with the emission in the solution, they exhibit enhanced photoluminescence in the aggregation states. Benefiting from the high emission in aqueous solution,DC-IrandTC-Irwere employed as the “turn-off” sensors to detect the explosives. The results reveal thatDC-IrandTC-Irshow fast and highly sensitive and selective detection towards 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) owing to the efficient photo-induced electron transfer as well as the strong electrostatic interaction.
