Lighting Up upon Phosphate Binding: Supramolecular Assembly of Ir(III) Complexes for Luminescent Sensing and Molecular Logic Gate.
Inorganic phosphates and polyphosphates are vital to biological function, and their dysregulation is linked to metabolic and renal disorders, driving the need for selective, sensitive, and reversible luminescent probes for their detection. Here, we report three bis-heteroleptic Ir(III) complexes (IC1-IC3) bearing imida...
