Abstract
Abstract Phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes are being widely explored for their utility in diverse photophysical applications. The performance of these materials in such roles depends heavily on their excited‐state properties, which can be tuned through ligand and substituent effects. This concept article focuses on methods for synthetically tailoring the properties of bis‐cyclometalated iridium(III) materials, and explores the factors governing the nature of their lowest excited state.
