Abstract
Trimethylamine (TMA) is transferred from dietary amines by intestinal bacterials, which can be further metabolized to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) by flavin monooxygenases. The abnormalities of TMA and TMAO lead to various diseases such as carcinogen and diabetes. In this project, polymers capable of specifically binding TMA and TMAO will be made. Through functionalization of these polymers with luminescent transition metal complexes, such as Ir(III) cyclometalates, the corresponding polymers would display phosphorescence. It is anticipated that these polymers can also serve as luminescent chemosensors because the binding of the targeted compounds (TMA and TMAO) would lead to modulation of the luminescent intensity. As shown in our recent study, phosphorescent cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes can serve as good photoredox catalysts for organic transformation. We anticipated that the iridium(III) cyclomatalated complex-functionalized polymers are also potentially useful as solid-supported photoredox catalysts. Preliminary study of the photophysics and photochemistry of these Ir(III) complexes-containing polymers will also be described.
