Cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes are widely used as photosensitizers in organic light-emitting diodes and as photocatalysts in solar energy conversion and organic chemical synthesis. These iridium complexes feature high intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiency and adjustable triplet excited state lifetimes. In recent years, they have gained significant attention in the field of triplet photosensitization. Effective molecular design strategies and principles have been developed to enhance the light absorption performance, luminescence quantum efficiency, and triplet excited state lifetime of iridium complexes. The molecular design strategies as well as the photophysical and photochemical properties associated with multi-pyridine heterocyclic metalized iridium(III) complexes [Ir(C^N)₂(N^N)] are discussed. It focuses on regulating properties such as visible light absorption and excited state lifetime, and reviews recent applications of iridium complexes in photocatalytic synthesis. Additionally, the article summarizes advancements in triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion (TTA-UC) and explores the correlations between the molecular structure and photosensitivity of heteroleptic tris(cyclometalated) iridium(III) complexes. This research provides insights for designing cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with enhanced performance.
