Abstract

Recent studies of the dual charge-transfer and ligand-field emissions of the IrCl2(phen)2+ ion1, 2 (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) have been extended to the structurally similar IrCl2(bpy)2+ complex ion (bpy = 2, 2'-bipyridine), which is also found to display two emissions. In the course of this study the perdeuterated analogue, IrCl2(bpy-d8)2+ was prepared, and several interesting deuterium effects on the luminescent properties have been observed. These include (i) a large increase in the lifetime for the ligand-field emission at 77 K; (ii) no change in the lifetime of the charge-transfer emission at 77 K; and (iii) a change in the ratio of the charge-transfer and ligand-field emission intensities in fluid DMF solutions.
