87. It is known that the nitro group works as a strong quencher of luminescent dye (see: Munkholm, C.; Parkinson, D.-R.; Walt, D. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 2608-2612.
88. Ueno, T.; Urano, Y.; Kojima, H.; Nagano, T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 10640-10641, and references cited therein). Concerning emission spectra of hexachlorinated and triiodinated Ir complexes 3b and 5, such halogen substituents may facilitate thermal deactivation via non-radiative pathway, as suggested by the reviewer.
89. For example, Lasker et al. introduced methoxy and fluoro groups on Ir(ppy)3 complex, but these complexes emit blue-color luminescence (ref 8d).
90. T), it seems that less polar solvents afford larger emission intensity.
91. UV-vis spectral change of 12 by protonation and deprotonation are shown in Figure S7 in the Supporting Information which shows a blue shift (ca. 40 nm) of absorption upon addition of excess amount of HCl.

94. Preliminary results of DFT calculation of 12 and H3 12 suggest that the difference of the energy gaps between HOMO and LUMO between these species are very small. A detailed calculation is now underway.
95. Typical CV curves of 1, 22, and 12 in DMF containing 0.1 M nBu4N(PF6)at 25 °C are shown in Figure S8 in the Supporting Information. A summary of potential gaps of the first oxidation and reduction of 1,22, and 12 in comparison with those of benzonitrile and aniline are displayed in Figure S9 in the Supporitng Information.
96. The pH-dependent change in UV/vis spectra of 12 (10 μM) in DMSO/100 mM buffer (pH 3-10) is shown in Figure S10 in the Supporting Information.
97. Note that emission intensity of H312 and acid-free 12 in solvent systems containing water (such as DMSO/H2O) are lower than those in other organic solvent systems (see Figure S6 in the Supporting Information), possibly because of the greater polarity of water than those of other organic solvents.

100. As shown in Supporting Information, Figure S11, emission enhancement of 12 upon addition of aq. HCl is smaller than that upon addition of MeSO3H regardless of the stronger acidity of HCl than that of MeSO2H, possibly because of the existence of water in the solvent system (see Figure S6 in the Supporting Information and ref 32 in this manuscript).
