The invention discloses a thienyl phosphorescent
iridium complex. A preparation method for the thienyl phosphorescent
iridium complex comprises the following steps: weighing 3,8-dibromoiridium
phenanthroline-2-phenylpyridine complex (or 3,8-dibromoiridium
phenanthroline-2-phenylquinoline complex) and 2-
thiophene pinacol borate at a
molar ratio of 1:(0.1-12), and adding
tetra(triphenyl
phosphine)
palladium with the
molar percentage of 1-20%; adding
sodium carbonate aqueous solution with a proper concentration of 2 M, adding an appropriate amount of DMF (
dimethyl formamide), and stirring at a temperature of 25-75 DEG C for 1-75 hours; after the reaction is finished, cooling the reaction solution to a
room temperature, pouring the reaction solution in water, and stirring for 1-30 minutes; extracting a water phase by use of
dichloromethane, combining an organic phase, and
drying the organic phase by use of
anhydrous magnesium sulphate; filtering the solution, removing the filtrate, and removing a
solvent in vacuum to obtain a crude product. The
iridium complex obtained by the preparation method disclosed by the invention is used for generating
singlet oxygen from a steady-state near-
infrared light, good in stability, and expected to be applied in the aspect of near-
infrared photodynamic therapy.
