Article Description

A two-photon excited "Ping-Pong" type energy transfer process is for the first time disclosed in a pyrene-modified Ir(iii) cyclometalated complex. The energy transfer, from the singlet excited state of the 4-(pyren-1-yl)-tpy (tpy-py) unit to the Ir(iii) moiety and then back again to the triplet excited state of the tpy-py unit, enhances both the two-photon absorption cross sections and singlet oxygen quantum yield of the complex, and dramatically boosts its two-photon photodynamic activity both in vitro and in 3D multicellular spheroids.
