We report the synthesis of nanohoop-based heteroleptic iridium(III)<sup>+</sup> polypyridyl complexes. While conventional heating methods are suitable for these syntheses, the use of a microwave reactor allows for complex generation in a more efficient manner, which is advantageous for rapid diversification of these complexes. Structural elucidation has been performed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Upon characterizing the photophysical properties of these complexes, we anticipate exploring their application in photoredox catalysis and optical materials.
