Abstract
Reactions of [{Ir(ppy or ppy-CF3)2} 2(μ-Cl)2] {Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine, Hppy-CF3 = 2-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-pyridine} with d-penicillamine (D-H 2pen) afforded emissive IrIII mononuclear complexes [Ir(ppy or ppy-CF3)2(D-Hpen-N,S)] as a 1:1 mixture of the ΔD/ΔD isomers. These complexes were converted into IrIIIAgIIrIII trinuclear structures in [Ag{Ir(D-pen-N,S)(ppy or ppy-CF3)2}{Ir(D-Hpen-N,S)(ppy or ppy-CF3)2}] by treatment with AgNO3, which led to a drastic blueshift of the emission bands. Whereas the (ppy)Ir IIIAgIIrIII complex produced the heterochiral ΔDΔD isomer, the ppy-CF3 complex gave the homochiral ΔDΔD and ΔDΔ D isomers that could completely be separated by crystallization. It was found that the quantum efficiency of the emission band for the ΔDΔD isomer is much lower than that for the ΔDΔD isomer.
