Abstract
A water–soluble Ir(III) complex has been developed for the first time as a turn–on luminescence probe of ClO4− based on aggregation–induced emission (AIE). The probe showed an unprecedented 250–fold emission enhancement in the presence of ClO4− in water. Formation of nanoparticles due to ClO4−–induced aggregation was confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The Ir(III) complex was further successfully applied in cell–imaging.
