Abstract:A series of naphthalene‐diimide (NDI) and perylene‐diimide (PDI) connected bis‐N‐heterocyclic carbene complexes of iridium (III) have been prepared and fully characterized. The analysis of their NMR spectroscopic features, together their molecular structures show that these species display lone pair‐p interactions between the chloride ligands of the Ir(III) complex and the heterocycles of the NDI/PDI moieties. The detection of this type of interaction in solution is due to the formation of two atropisomers, wh… Show more
