Abstract

The presented dataset contains data and images produced in the framework of the ECLipse project, regarding the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of magnetic microbeads covalently functionalized with [Ru(bpy)3](2+) (Ru@Beads), in presence of Ir(III)-based redox mediators exhibiting a variety of photophysical and electrochemical properties. The Ir(III) mediators employed are: [Ir(bt)2(pt-TEG)]+, [Ir(dfppy)2(pt-TEG)]+ and [Ir(sppy)3](3-). Also, data related to [Fe(bpy)3](2+) redox mediator are included. The data are useful to decipher the interaction mechanism between the freely diffusing Ir(III) mediators with the anchored [Ru(bpy)3](2+) labels and determine the key properties of effective ECL enhancers.
