Abstract

Two cyclometallated platinum(II) complexes, N^C^N-5-fluoro-1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene platinum(II) chloride, FPtCl, and N^C^N-5-methyl-1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene platinum(II) isothiocyanate, MePtNCS, have been synthesized and characterized. Both complexes are highly efficient phosphorescent green emitters which can also display excimer emission in the red region. They have been studied as triplet emitters in solution-processed, multilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), together with the known complex of 5-methyl-1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene, MePtCl, for comparison. The trend in efficiencies of the OLEDs prepared correlates with the charge-trapping properties of the complexes. The most efficiently emitting complex, FPtCl, was used as the dopant in a solution-processed white OLED, employing monomer and excimer emission.
