Bathophenanthroline Disulfonate Ligand-Induced Self-Assembly of Ir(III) Complexes in Water: An Intriguing Class of Photoluminescent Soft Materials

ACS Omega, 3(10), 14027–14038.

By: M. McGoorty n, A. Singh n, T. Deaton n, B. Peterson  n, C. Taliaferro n, Y. Yingling n , F. Castellano n 

Contributors: M. McGoorty n, A. Singh n, T. Deaton n, B. Peterson  n, C. Taliaferro n, Y. Yingling n , F. Castellano n 

TL;DR: A combination of nanoscale particle characterization techniques, static and dynamic photoluminescence spectroscopic studies, along with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of these soft materials suggests the formation of small, heterogeneous nanoaggregate structures, wherein the sulfonated diimine ancillary ligand serves as a pro-aggregating subunit in all instances.
