title: Self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence of an iridium(III) complex: mechanistic insight.
abstract: Improved luminophore: The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of an iridium complex self-enhanced up to 16 times is reported. Three excited states were observed in the emission spectra (see picture). The ECL efficiency of this complex is the highest reported for an iridium complex.
