Abstract
Conventionally, Ir(III) complexes typically show longer emission wavelengths compared to their Pt(II) complexes with identical ligands. In this work, a series of Pt(II) and Ir(III) complexes based on identical benzothiophene ligands were designed. Experimental results demonstrate that the Pt(II) complexes exhibit red-shifted emission compared to the Ir(III) complexes. This is caused by the stronger ligand field and lower T1 energy level of the Pt(II) complexes. The device efficiency prepared by vapor deposition can reach up to 20.3% with very small efficiency roll-off, demonstrating superior performance among Ir(III) complexes bearing thiophene and related structures. Furthermore, the broader spectrum of Pt(II) complexes is suitable for the application of white light devices.
