Abstrakt: A joint structural and spectroscopic study of simple bis-cyclometataled rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes with 2-phenylpyridine and aromatic β-diketones (dibenzoylmethane, benzoylacetone, benzoyltrifluoroacetone, and 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone) reveals an interplay between the solid-state emission efficiency and crystal packing peculiarities of the complexes. Although the prepared rhodium(III) cyclometalates are isostructural with iridium(III) analogues, different types of π–π interactions are responsible for the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of the complexes depending on the metal ion. For iridium(III) complexes, pyridyl–pyridyl contacts are essential for AIE because they lower the energy of the emissive metal-to-ligand charge transfer state below that of the non-emissive state located at the ancillary ligand. Enabled by phenyl–pyridyl interactions partially blocking the population of non-emissive d–d states, solid-state phosphorescence enhancement is successfully achieved in a rhodium(III) complex with ancillary benzoyltrifluoroacetone, which is the first example of a rhodium complex exhibiting AIE.
