Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of two novel orange emissive cationic iridium(III) complexes (Ir1 and Ir2) are reported. Both complexes are coordinated with cyclometalating ligands consisting of strongly electron-withdrawing anthraquinone and π-conjugated phenylpyridine units. Additionally, electron-donating methoxy group and electron-withdrawing anthraquinone are incorporated into the ancillary ligands. Ir1 and Ir2 are ionic solids with excellent stability. They exhibit orange phosphorescence at room temperature, with full width at half maximum (FWHM) exceeding 100 nm, which enables high-quality white-light emission with a high CRI, and lifetimes of 7.77 and 6.28 μs in solution, respectively. These cationic iridium(III) complexes can be processed via solution spin-coating and used as phosphorescent dyes for the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The device doped with 5 wt% Ir2 showed the best performance, achieving maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 1.5 %, peak luminance of 660 cd/m2, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
