RT journal article T1 Luminescent iridium complexes for detection of molybdate A1 L. Davies, David A1 Duhme Klair, Anne-K A1 Singh, Kuldip A1 Singh, Shalini A1 Castillo González, Carmen Esther A2 Ciencia de los Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica y Química Inorgánica AB Reactions of [Ir(CŸN)2Cl]2 [HCŸN = 2-(3-R-phenyl)pyridine, 2-(3-R-phenylpyrazole) R = H, Me] with Me2-phencat give luminescent complexes [Ir(CŸN)2(Me2-phencat)][PF6] (Me2-2a, b, c)[PF6]. Deprotection of the methoxy groups with BBr3 is problematic as simultaneous bromination of the cyclometallated phenyl groups occurs. However, deprotection of Me2-phencat with BBr3 followed by complexation with [Ir(CŸN)2Cl]2 gives luminescent complexes [Ir(CŸN)2(H2-phencat)][PF6] (H2-3a, c)[PF6], which are luminescent sensors for molybdate.
