The phosphorescence properties of fac-Ir(pmp)3, mer-Ir(pmp)3, fac-Ir(dmpmp)3, and mer-Ir(dmpmp)3 (where pmp = 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine and dmpmp = 1-(2',6'-dimethylbiphenyl-2-yl)-3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine) in CH2Cl2 were investigated. At 77 K, the fac-isomers showed blue emission with a vibronic structure, while the mer-isomers showed less structured emissions. At 300 K, all complexes showed broad and markedly red-shifted emission spectra compared to those at 77 K. The quantum yields of the Ir(dmpmp)3 isomers were very low, and their emission lifetimes were very short compared to those of Ir(pmp)3. In order to understand the large differences between the photodynamic properties of Ir(pmp)3 and Ir(dmpmp)3, we performed femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption (TA) spectroscopic measurements. The TA spectra of Ir(dmpmp)3 were almost the same as those of Ir(pmp)3 at a short delay time. |
