The increase in phosphorescence efficiency was estimated by the energy transfer mechanism for divergent iridium dendrimers with peripheral phenylcarbazole units. A series of Ir-core/phenylcarbazole-end dendrons of the type, Ir(dfppy)2(pic-Czn) (Gn, n = 0, 1, 2, and 3), was synthesized, where dfppy, pic, and Czn (n = 2, 4, and 8) are 2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridine, picolinate substituted with Czn at the 3-position, and 4-(9-carbazolyl)phenyldendrons connected with 3,5-di(methyleneoxy)benzyloxy branches, respectively. Selective excitation of the Czn units of G1–G3 resulted in >90% quenching of the Cz fluorescence accompanied by the growth of phosphorescence from the Ir(dfppy)2(pic) core as a consequence of energy transfer from the excited-singlet Czn chromophore to the core. The rate constants of energy transfer were determined by steady-state and transient spectroscopic measurements to be 4.32 × 10(9) s(−1) (G1), 2.37 × 10(9) s(−1) (G2), and 1.46 × 10(9) s(−1) (G3), which were in good agreement with those calculated using the Förster model. The phosphorescence enhancements were 157 (G1), 213 (G2), and 264% (G3) when compared to the phosphorescence of the core Ir(dfppy)2(pic-Ph2) (G0), in which pic-Ph2 is 3-(3,5-dibenzyloxybenzyl)picolinate.
