“…Similarly, the imidazo[1,5- a ]pyridinic nucleus, substituted at position 1 with a pendant pyridinic group, has been utilized for coordinating transition metal ions as a chelating N-N ligand (see Figure 5 ) [ 125 , 129 , 130 , 131 ]. Specifically, the inclusion of a pendant pyridinic group at position 1 on the imidazo[1,5- a ]pyridinic skeleton (as opposed to introducing, for instance, a pendant phenyl group) enhances the quantum yield values [ 132 ].…”
