A long-lived aldol reaction-based iridium(III) chemosensor [Ir(ppy)<sub>2</sub>(5-CHOphen)]PF<sub>6</sub> (1, where ppy = 2-phenylpyridine and 5-CHOphen = 1,10-phenanthroline-5-carbaldehyde) for proline detection has been synthesized. The iridium(III) complex 1, incorporating an aldehyde group in N^N donor ligand, can take part in aldol reaction with acetone mediated by proline. The transformation of the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized carbonyl group into a sp<sup>3</sup>-hybridized alcohol group infl ...[more]
