Abstract
Two phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes (dfpmpy) 2Ir(ppc) and (dfpmpy) 2Ir(prz) [dfpmpy=2-(2′,4′-difluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine, ppc=pipecolinate, prz=2-pyrazine carboxylate] were synthesized from the reaction of the chloro-bridged dimeric complex [(dfpmpy) 2Ir(μ-Cl)] 2 and the ancillary ligand. Their structures and photoluminescence properties were investigated and device performances for application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were studied. The complexes adopt a distorted, octahedral geometry around the iridium metal, exhibiting cis C–C and trans N–N arrangements. The photoluminescent (PL) properties reveal that (dfpmpy) 2Ir(ppc) emits in the blue-green region ( λ max=497 nm), whereas (dfpmpy) 2Ir(prz) shows red phosphorescence (λ max=543 nm) in the film state (5% wt. doped in PMMA). The (dfpmpy) 2Ir(ppc)- and (dfpmpy) 2Ir(prz)-based OLEDs exhibited sky-blue and greenish-yellow electroluminescence with similar current–voltage characteristics, repectively. Maximum current efficiency of (dfpmpy) 2Ir(ppc) and (dfpmpy) 2Ir(prz) were 4.4 and 7.4 cd/A, respectively. Maximum luminance values were approximately 10,000 cd/m 2 for the both compounds.
