Abstract

We synthesized π-conjugated lithium phenolate complexes, lithium 2-(2-pyridyl)phenolate (LiPP), lithium 2-(2′, 2′′-bipyridine-6′-yl)phenolate (LiBPP), and lithium 2-(isoquinoline-1′-yl)phenolate (LiIQP). These complexes showed lower sublimation temperatures of 305–332 °C compared to 717 °C of LiF. The organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) using these complexes as an electron injection layer exhibited high efficiencies which are comparable to that of the device using LiF. Especially, a 40-nm thick film of LiBPP or LiPP was effective as an electron injection material, providing low driving voltages, while such a thick film of LiF serves as a complete insulator, resulting in high driving voltages.
