摘要

Efficient aggregation induced phosphorescence emission (AIPE) of an ionic Ir(III) complex occurs when the counterion (PF6-) is exchanged specifically by ClO4- in aqueous media. As a result, a rapid, highly selective "turn-on'' phosphorescent response to ClO4- is observed in aqueous media. These studies pave the way for a new efficient phosphorescence-based detection strategy for anions.
