Sensitisation of Eu(iii)- and Tb(iii)-based luminescence by Ir(iii) units in Ir/lanthanide dyads: evidence for parallel energy-transfer and electron-transfer based mechanisms

A series of blue-luminescent Ir(iii) complexes with a pendant binding site for lanthanide(iii) ions has been synthesized and used to prepare Ir(iii)/Ln(iii) dyads (Ln = Eu, Tb, Gd). Photophysical studies were used to establish mechanisms of Ir→Ln (Ln = Tb, Eu) energy-transfer. In the Ir/Gd dyads, wh...
