A series of cationic diiminoiridium(III) complexes [Ir(ppy-N,C)2(L-N,N)](PF6) has been prepared [Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine; L = 4,4′-tBu2dpbpy (1), 4,4′-Me2dpbpy (2), 4,4′-Me2pbpy (3), 4,4′-Me2bpy (4)] and their photophysical and electrochemical properties studied. X-ray diffraction studies of complex 1 reveal a dihedral angle of about 33° between the pyridine rings, and that the two phenyl groups are also tilted with respect to the adjacent pyridine rings. All the complexes exhibit moderately intense and long-lived emission. The origin of the emission is tentatively assigned to a triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer 3MLCT [dπ(Ir) π*(diimine)] excited state, although the possibility of a triplet σ-bond-to-ligand charge transfer 3SBLCT [σ(Ir−C) π*(diimine)] cannot be excluded. The luminescence properties of the complexes are dependent on the substituents on the diimine ligands. Selective N-methylation of the diimine ligands has been achieved and their N,C-coordination to the Ir centre has been attempted. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
