  1. r reversible, ir irreversible
  2. a 10 μM in deaerated THF, 298 K
  3. b Photoluminescence lifetimes determined employing time-correlated single-photon-counting techniques, after picosecond pulsed laser excitation at 377 nm. The measurements were taken for deaerated THF solutions containing 50 μM Ir dopant or 50 μM H host
  4. c Photoluminescence quantum yields of the Ir dopants measured for mCBP films (50 nm) molecularly dispersed with 5 wt % Ir
  5. d Oxidation potentials
  6. e Reduction potentials. Cyclic (scan rate = 100 mV s−1), differential pulse (scan rate = 4 mV s−1) and second harmonic alternating current (scan rate =  25 mV s−1) voltammetry experiments were performed to determine the potentials. The electrochemical measurements were taken for deaerated THF solutions of 2.0 mM Ir or 2.0 mM H employing a three-electrode cell assembly consisting of a Pt disc working electrode, a Pt wire counter electrode, and an Ag/AgNO3 pseudo reference electrode
  7. f Excited-state oxidation potentials
  8. g Excited-state reduction potentials
  9. h Not observed before solvent breakdown
  10. i Not determined
