Molecular Emitters as a Tunable Light Source for Optical Multisensor Systems

Abstract

In this study, optical multisensor systems based on molecular emitters as a light source are introduced. To obtain such light sources, cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes and Cu(I)-based complexes were synthetized and investigated. Since each complex has its own emission spectrum in the visible range, it is possible to choose an appropriate set of emitters for specific analytical tacks. The developed analytical device was successfully applied for fluoride and phosphate quantification in surface water.
