Solid-state Thermal and Photochemical E/Z Isomerization of Bidentate-N,S Schiff Base Ligands in Iridium(III) Complexes
The newly prepared [IrL(ppy or CF3-ppy)(2)] complexes with a bidentate-N,S Schiff base ligand (L) showed thermal and photochemical E/Z conversions in the solid state, which are tuned by the modification of a pendent phenyl group of L and a phenyl group of ppy
