研究目的
Investigating the influence of molecular structure on collision radius for optical sensing of molecular oxygen based on cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes.
研究成果
The incremental introduction of TPA substituents on cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes significantly increases collision radiuses, enhancing oxygen sensitivity. IrA3 exhibited the highest sensitivity, demonstrating a clear structure-property relationship. This research provides a foundation for designing emitters with optimized molecular structures for high-sensitivity optical oxygen sensors, with potential applications in environmental monitoring and biomedical fields.
研究不足
The study is limited to THF as the dispersion phase; other solvents or matrices were not explored. The sensor application was demonstrated only with silicon gel, and long-term stability or real-world environmental testing were not addressed. Theoretical calculations assumed idealized conditions without experimental validation of all predicted properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing TPA-substituted Ir(III) complexes, characterizing their photophysical and electrochemical properties, performing theoretical calculations (DFT), and evaluating oxygen sensitivity in THF using the Demas model for Stern-Volmer analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included synthesized IrA1, IrA2, IrA3, and reference Ir(ppy)3 complexes. Data were obtained from spectroscopic measurements, cyclic voltammetry, and computational simulations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included fluorescence spectrophotometer (Agilent Cary Eclipse G9800A), UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer (Agilent Cary 5000), electrochemical workstation (Princeton Applied Research PARSTAT 2273), Laser Flash Photolysis system, NMR spectrometer (Bruker AVANCE III HD 500 MHz), mass spectrometer (MALDI micro MX), and computational software (Gaussian 16). Materials included chemicals like 2-bromopyridine, boronic acids, IrCl3·3H2O, solvents (THF, ethanol, water), and silicon gel for sensor fabrication.
