Ir(III) Half-Sandwich Photosensitizers with a p-Expansive Ligand for Efficient Anticancer Photodynamic Therapy

One approach to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy in cancer treatment is photodynamic therapy (PDT), which allows spatiotemporal control of the cytotoxicity. We have used the strategy of coordinating π-expansive ligands to increase the excited state lifetimes of Ir(III) half-sandwich complexes...
