Iridium thermal properties

The second form consists of Pt metal but the iridium is present as iridium dioxide. Iridium metal may or may not be present, depending on the baking temperature (14). Titanium dioxide is present in amounts of only a few weight percent. The analysis of these coatings suggests that the platinum metal acts as a binder for the iridium oxide, which in turn acts as the electrocatalyst for chlorine discharge (14). In the case of thermally deposited platinum—iridium metal coatings, these may actually form an intermetallic. Both the electrocatalytic properties and wear rates are expected to differ for these two forms of platinum—iridium-coated anodes. 

The ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes are also popular but the brightnesses do not exceed 15,000 and thermal quenching is rather significant. This property can be utilized to design temperature-sensitive probes providing that the dyes are effectively shielded from oxygen (e.g., in polyacrylonitrile beads). Despite often very high emission quantum yields the visible absorption of cyclometallated complexes of iridium(III) and platinum(II) is usually poor (e < 10,000 M-1cm-1), thus,... 

ES tuning effects on photophysical properties are quite evident in the luminescence spectrum of the iridium(III) complex ion Ir(Mephen)2ClJ (Mephen = 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in ambient-temperature dimethylformamide. This displays dual emission from thermally equilibrated MLCT and LF states. Increased pressure (300 MPa) leads to enhanced MLGT emission (550 nm) at the expense of the LF emission (720 nm) with little or no shift of peak maxima (Fig.
