چکیده
Solid-state light-emitting devices (LEDs) were fabricated based on an amorphous film of Ru(bpy)3(ClO4)2 (bpy ) 2,2′-bipyridine) about 100 nm thick on indium-tin oxide (ITO) with printed low melting point alloys, such as Ga:In, Ga:Sn, and Bi:In:Pb:Sn, as cathodic contacts. A device with the structure of ITO (e10 Ω/square)/Ru(bpy)3(ClO4)2/Ga:Sn produces a bright red emission (3500 cd/m2 at 4.0 V) centered at 660 nm. This new method of making contacts significantly simplifies the fabrication of an electroluminescence cell and has potential application in the production of LEDs by inkjet or microcontact printing. LEDs based on C12-Ru(bpy)3(ClO4)2, Ru(phenanthroline)3(ClO4)2, and Os(bpy)3(PF6)2 were also studied. Low melting point alloy contacts were also used with cells based on tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum.

Stability of thin-film solid-state electroluminescent devices based on tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes.
The factors affecting the operating life of the light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) based on films of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) both in sandwich (using an ITO anode and a Ga:Sn cathode) and planar (using interdigitated electrode arrays (IDAs)) configurations were investigated. Stability of these devices is greatly improved when they are produced and operated under drybox condit...
متن کاملThin-film solid-state electroluminescent devices based on tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes.
The behavior of light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEC) based on solid films ( approximately 100 nm) of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) between an ITO anode and a Ga-In cathode was investigated. The response times were strongly influenced by the nature of the counterion: small anions (BF(4)(-) and ClO(4)(-)) led to relatively fast transients, while large anions (PF(6)(-), AsF(6)(-)) produ...
متن کاملDivalent osmium complexes: synthesis, characterization, strong red phosphorescence, and electrophosphorescence.
We report new divalent osmium complexes that feature strong red metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer (MLCT) phosphorescence and electrophosphorescence. The general formula of the complexes is Os(II)(N-N)(2)L-L, where N-N is either a bipyridine or a phenanthroline and L-L is either a phosphine or an arsine. New polypyridyl ligands synthesized are 4,4'-di(biphenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (15) and 4,4'-di(dip...

متن کاملObservation of electroluminescence at room temperature from a ruthenium(II) bis-terpyridine complex and its use for preparing light-emitting electrochemical cells.
A terpyridine ruthenium (II) complex containing a substituted and an unsubstituted terpyridine ligand was synthesized, and its luminescence properties were studied in a solid-state single-layer light-emitting electrochemical cell. The obtained devices emitted light of a very deep red color (CIE, x = 0.717 y = 0.282) at low external applied bias. It is the first example of an electroluminescence...
