Abstract

The crystal structure of Er(PM)3(TP)2 [PM=1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-isobutyryl-5-pyrazolone, TP=triphenyl phosphine oxide] was reported and its photoluminescence properties were studied by UV–vis absorption, excited, and emission spectra. The Judd–ofelt theory was introduced to calculate the radiative transition rate and the radiative decay time of 3.65ms for the 4I13/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3+ ion in this complex. The antenna-effect and phonon-assisted energy-transfer were introduced to discuss the intramolecular energy transfer from ligands to Er3+ ion. Based on this Er(III) complex as the emitter, the multilayer phosphorescent organic light emitting diode was fabricated with the structure of ITO/NPB 20nm/Er(PM)3(TP)2 50nm/BCP 20nm/AlQ 40nm/LiF 1nm/Al 120nm, which shows the typical 1.54μm near-infrared (NIR) emission from Er3+ ion with the maximum NIR irradiance of 0.21μW/cm2.
