Abstract

In order to enhance the charge balance of organic near infrared (NIR) electroluminescent devices, an ancillary ligand of pic-SCz which was covalently linking the bipolar group SCz (composed of PS (S) and tBuCz (Cz)) to pic (SCz=3,6-di-tert-butyl-9-(4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole; PS = phenyl sulfone; tBuCz = 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole; pic= 2-picolinic acid) was developed for iridium (III) complex (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Ir(pic-SCz). Compared with parent complex (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Irpic, the photophysical and electroluminescent properties of (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Ir(pic-SCz) were improved by introducing Cz as hole transporting unit and PS as electron transporting unit. In phosphorescent organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), using (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Ir(pic-SCz) as the luminescent dopant, we obtained a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 0.95% at the wavelength of 712 nm. This is 3.28 times as much as that of (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Irpic (EQEmax is 0.29% at 712 nm).
