title: Rigidly linking cyclometallated Ir(iii) and Pt(ii) centres: an efficient approach to strongly absorbing and highly phosphorescent red emitters.
abstract: The synthesis and photophysical properties of an unprecedented tetranuclear complex are described, in which a fac-tris-cyclometallated Ir(iii) centre is rigidly connected to three cyclometallated Pt(ii) centres. The complex absorbs strongly up to ∼600 nm and emits red light with unusually high efficiency.
