Abstract

Efficient aggregation induced phosphorescence emission (AIPE) of an ionic Ir(III) complex occurs when the counterion (PF6−) is exchanged specifically by ClO4− in aqueous media. As a result, a rapid, highly selective “turn-on” phosphorescent response to ClO4− is observed in aqueous media. These studies pave the way for a new efficient phosphorescence-based detection strategy for anions.
