Abstract

Abstract Six cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes were investigated to assess their potential as photosensitizers for long-range electron transfer, and two of them were incorporated directly into covalent donor–bridge–acceptor molecules. The influence of ligand substitutions on the excited-state properties and the photoredox behavior of the iridium complexes was explored by optical absorption, steady-state and time-resolved ...
