“…Among our research group, we also focused on a series of organic dyes, namely the imidazo[1,5‐ a ]pyridines, whose biological [27] and photophysical properties [28] have been largely studied and reported in the literature, the latter including large Stokes shifts and high quantum yields. [ 29 , 30 ] Furthermore, they are known to act as ligands in the synthesis of luminescent transition‐metal coordination compounds,[ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] or in the fabrication of OLEDs. [ 36 , 37 , 38 ] In previous works, the photophysical properties of this class of coordination compounds were investigated on both zinc(II),[ 39 , 40 , 41 ] and silver(I), [42] using opportunely derivatized imidazo[1,5‐ a ]pyridine ligands.…”
