Applications
Tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III), Ir(ppy)3, is used widely in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its high quantum yields and thermal stability.
Utilizing all of its singlet and triplet excitons for the emission, this green light emitting Ir(ppy)3 exhibits a very bright phosphorescence with an internal quantum yield of almost 100%. It is one of the most successful green-triplet emitters in the rapidly developing field of OLED display technology.
Reactions
- Photocatalyst for ?-amino C–H arylation of cyano(hetero)arenes by tertiary amines
- Photocatalyst for trifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes
- Photocatalyst for reduction of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl iodides (a) and intramolecular reductive cyclizations (d)
- Photocatalyst for organocatalyst assisted direct arylation of allylic sp3 C–H bonds
- Photocatalyst for the generation multifluorinated biaryls via functionalization of the C−F bond of a perfluoroarene and C−H bond of the other arene in the presence of amines
- Photocatalyst for visible-light photoredox arylation of thiols with various aryl halides

Chemical Properties
Light yellow to red solid
Uses
Tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium can be useful as a photoredox catalyst in the preparation of fused-quinoxaline derivatives, difluorinated ketones and carbazoles. It can be a useful modifier in optogenetic control of behavior of larva expressing ChR2 in Drosophila melanogaster. It can also be useful in the development of a metal-?containing nucleoside that possesses both therapeutic and diagnostic activity against cancer.
General Description
Tris-(2-phenylpyridine) iridium [Ir(ppy)
3] is a heavy metal complex. [Ir(ppy)
3] is the most frequently used precursor molecule for the synthesis of electro-phosphorescent materials, which are then used in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). It provides green-color emission and high phosphorescence quantum yield close to unity.
