Popis: A series of Iridium (III) complexes of general formula [Ir(ppy)2(L)]0/+ (ppy = 2-phenyl pyridine, L = Schiff base) were synthesised from the dichloro bridged dimeric starting material, [(ppy)2Ir(μ-Cl)2Ir(ppy)2]. Three Schiff bases used as ligand were obtained from condensation of 2-amino phenol with benzaldehyde (L1), salicylaldehyde with 2-aminopyridine (L2) and pyridine 2-aldehyde with 2-aminopyridine (L3). All the complexes were characterised by IR, 1H NMR, electronic absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry studies. Molecular structure of two of these complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. Complexes displayed several weak absorptions in visible region in the range of 401–499 nm. TDDFT calculations on complexes revealed the ligand orbital dominance in both HOMO and LUMO orbitals and subsequent ligand centred transitions were observed in absorption spectra.
