title: Remote Terpyridine Integrated NHC-IrIIILuminophores as Potential Dual-Emissive Ratiometric O2Probes.
abstract: A new class of bi-luminophoric dyad has been designed, consisting of an oxygen-sensitive phosphorescent NHC-IrIIIcenter with a remotely integrated oxygen-insensitive fluorescent terpyridine unit. The new terpyridine flurophore-integrated NHC-IrIIImolecule was demonstrated as a potential ratiometric O2probe with built-in internal reference, exhibiting tunable dual-emissive features, as well as highly linear and reversible O2-response behavior.
