Synthesis and properties of a dendritic FRET donor-acceptor system with cationic iridium(iii) complex core and carbazolyl periphery

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c1dt11716e

In order to enhance the photoluminescence of cyclometalated iridium(iii) complexes, which are potentially useful for biolabeling and bioimaging, a series of benzyl ether branched dendritic moieties with carbazolyl termini were introduced to the cyclometal
