title: Near-IR phosphorescence of iridium(III) corroles at ambient temperature.
abstract: The photophysical properties of Ir(III) corroles differ from those of phosphorescent porphyrin complexes, cyclometalated and polyimine Ir(III) compounds, and other luminescent metallocorroles. Ir(III) corrole phosphorescence is observed at ambient temperature at wavelengths much longer (>800 nm) than those of most Ir(III) phosphors. The solvatochromic behavior of Ir(III)-corrole Soret and Q absorption bands suggests that the lowest singlet excited states (S(2) and S(1)) are substantially more polar than the ground state.
