The production of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSNs) with uniform textural characteristics and imaging properties in the large scale is still a challenge. Thus, the design of simple and scalable methods...

By using N,N-dibutyl-2,2’-bipyridine-4,4’-dicarboxamide as diimine (dbbpy) and distinctive cyclometalated groups, this work reports a new family of cationic phosphorescent Ir(III) cyclometaladed [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]X compounds [C^N = difluorophenylpyridine (dfppy) a, 2,6-difluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)benzaldehyde (CHO-dfppy)...
