Abstract
A new class of luminescent dendritic carbazole-containing alkynylplatinum(II) complexes has been synthesized, characterized, and applied as phosphorescent dopants in the fabrication of solution-processable organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). These complexes exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 80% in spin-coated thin films. In addition, the incorporation of carbazole dendrons into the platinum(II) center can significantly suppress intermolecular interactions in solid-state thin films, giving rise to emission spectra that are similar to those found in solution irrespective of dopant concentrations. High-performance solution-processable OLEDs have also been fabricated, with a maximum external quantum efficiency of up to 10.4%, which is comparable to that of the vacuum-deposited devices based on the small-molecule counterpart. This is one of the highest ever reported values for solution-processable devices based on platinum(II) complexes with tridentate ligands.
