“…Ir(III) complexes have aroused great research interest in phototherapy owing to their favorable characteristics, such as their high ISC ability and tunable photophysical properties. [199][200][201][202][203][204][205][206] In 2017, Chao et al reported a series of Ir(III) complexes with AIE characteristics for cancer cellspecific mitochondria-targeted PDT. The obtained AIE-active Ir(III) complexes exhibited gradually red-shifted emission peaks and gradually decreased quantum yields in the aggregate state from Ir1 to Ir3.…”
This review summarized the progression of AIEgen-based photo-driven theranostics emphasizing on design strategies for efficient photosensitization, photothermal conversion and multimodal functionalities by adjusting the excited energy dissipation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
