Article Abstract
Exploring the internal relationship between the structure and properties of AIE-active iridium complexes and their applications have been great significance. It is imperative to acknowledge that the precise control of nanoparticle morphology and particle size of organic molecules in solutions remains elusive, while comprehending the luminescent mechanisms of self-assembled aggregates continues to present a challenge. The previously work proposed that solvent-induced amphiphilic molecules could enhance the self-assembly properties of iridium complexes, but the influence of ligands' hydrophilic-lipophilic interactions on the AIE characteristics of iridium complexes remained unclear. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of cationic iridium complexes featuring cyclometalated ligands with aldehyde groups and auxiliary ligands with chains of varying lengths. The synergistic interaction between the hydrophilic aldehyde groups and the lipophilic N^N ligand promotes the formation of self-assembled J-aggregates, which is vital for the AIE performance. In the presence of EDTA ions, the Ir-C6-BCz complex evolves from AIE-active nanotoroids to AIEE-active nanofibers through an in-situ electrostatic self-assembly process. Based on these properties, Ir-C6-BCz was used for fingerprint recognition with excellent imaging results. We could control the AIE properties of iridium complexes from single molecule to 3D aggregates and reveal their self-assembly mechanism. A novel two-step fingerprint recognition method using the in-situ electrostatic self-assembly was developed. The method significantly enhances fluorescence intensity and image contrast, showing great analytical potential for latent fingerprint detection. This work not only offers a comprehensive design strategy for novel self-assembly materials but also highlights the adaptability of iridium complex in fingerprint recognition.

Background: Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological condition characterized by aggravated oxidative-inflammatory tissue damage that occurs upon blood flow restoration after ischemia. LIRI can lead to severe complications, including primary graft dysfunction in lung transplants and multi-organ failure. However, current treatments remain limited.

Platinum-group metal half-sandwich complexes are considered to be potential replacements of the clinically widely used platins which have several side effects and tend to cause resistance to develop. In our previous works, we used a range of 2-pyridyl-substituted N- and C-glycosyl heterocycles as N,N-chelating ligands to prepare ruthenium(II), osmium(II), iridium(III) and rhodium(III) polyhapto arene/arenyl half-sandwich complexes. Some of these complexes, particularly with the C-glucopyranosyl isoxazole derived ligand in its O-perbenzoylated form, exhibited greater anticancer efficiency than cisplatin and had minimal or negligible effects on non-transformed fibroblasts.

Objective: Introduced in 1970s, Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) devices have played a crucial role in managing a wide range of complex and refractory chronic pain, particularly back/leg pain as well as neuropathic pain. Currently, two primary types of leads, cylindrical and paddle leads, are prevalent in pain management. While both effectively alleviate pain, cylindrical leads, due to their small size, are susceptible to movement and migration as well as a smaller surface area for coverage, leading to device displacement and failure to provide pain relief.

Arenes bearing silyl and boryl, or germyl and boryl groups, represent a significant class of bifunctional molecules that have garnered considerable attention in organic synthesis due to their unique reactivity and versatility in undergoing diverse chemical transformations. Despite their importance, the synthesis of these mixed-metalloid compounds, particularly those with ortho-substituted aromatic frameworks, often involves complex, multi-step procedures. Herein, we present a highly efficient, single-step method for synthesizing ortho-boronated arylhydrosilanes and arylgermanes via catalytic C-H borylation reaction.
