New ionic dinuclear Ir(<scp>iii</scp>) Schiff base complexes with aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission (AIPE)

Abstract

Two new ionic dinuclear Ir(III) Schiff base complexes which are straightforward to synthesise have luminescence quantum yields as high as 37% in neat films. These are the first examples of dinuclear ionic Ir(III) complexes that display aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission (AIPE).
