چکیده

Herein we describe the synthesis and characterization of a neutral heteroleptic iridium complex bearing an unusual 2-pyridyl-6-methylthiazine dioxide ligand (pythdo). X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that in the complex, the pythdo ligand is twisted and puckered, resulting in very low photoluminescent quantum efficiency. The emission profile is structured. Excited state lifetime measurements along with oxygen quenching studies point to a rare case of dual emission from different excited states whereby the high energy bands possess significant ligand-centered ((3)LC) character while the lower energy bands are predominantly characterized as a mixture of charge transfer ((3)CT) states. A detailed computational analysis corroborates the unusual photophysical behavior.

Design and Synthesis of Heteroleptic Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes Containing Quinoline-Type Ligands that Exhibit Dual Phosphorescence.

The design and synthesis of some cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes containing quinoline-type ligands as ancillary ligands are reported. The emission spectra of Ir(III) complexes containing a quinolinolate (6, 8, 10) moiety exhibit a single emission peak at ca. 590 nm, resulting in a red colored emission. However, Ir(III) complexes containing 8-sulfonamidoquinoline ligands (11, 13-21) exhibi...

The effect of substituted 1,2,4-triazole moiety on the emission, phosphorescent properties of the blue emitting heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes and the OLED performance: a theoretical study.

A series of neutral heteroleptic mononuclear iridium(III) complexes was investigated using the density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory approach to determine the effect of the substituted 1,2,4-triazole moiety on the electronic structures, emission, and phosphorescent properties and the organic light emitting diode (OLED) performance. The results reveal that substituti...

Upper limit to the ultimate achievable emission wavelength in near-IR emitting cyclometalated iridium complexes.

Iridium complexes bearing cyclometalated (C^N) ligands are the current emitters of choice for efficient phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Homoleptic iridium complexes Ir(C^N)3 and the analogous heteroleptic ones carrying a β-diketonate ancillary ligand (C^N)2Ir(O^O) often exhibit similar photophysical properties and device performances; the choice among them usually depends ...

An inconvenient influence of iridium(III) isomer on OLED efficiency.

The recently reported heteroleptic cyclometallated iridium(III) complex [Ir(2-phenylpyridine)(2)(2-carboxy-4-dimethylaminopyridine)] N984 and its isomer N984b have been studied more in detail. While photo- and electrochemical properties are very similar, DFT/TDDFT calculations show that the two isomers have different HOMO orbital characteristics. As a consequence, solution processed OLEDs made ...
