We report for the first time the stable etectrochemiluminescence of a completely insoluble neutral Ir(III) complex in aqueous media. The strategy adopted is the encapsulation of emitting dye into silica-PEG nanoparticles. This nanoassembly by limiting water and oxygen quenching and allowing solubilization makes the electrogeneration of the excited state feasible under typical bioassay conditions.

Abstract
We report for the first time the stable etectrochemiluminescence of a completely insoluble neutral Ir(III) complex in aqueous media. The strategy adopted is the encapsulation of emitting dye into silica-PEG nanoparticles. This nanoassembly by limiting water and oxygen quenching and allowing solubilization makes the electrogeneration of the excited state feasible under typical bioassay conditions.File in questo prodotto:
