Abstract
Construction of intramolecular π-π packing between cyclometalated and ancillary ligand have been proved to be a feasible way to design cationic Ir(III) phosphors for stable light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). Employing blue-green (C1) and yellow-emitting (C2) Ir(III) complexes as emitters, in which such π-π interactions between ligands occur, the stable and efficient LECs with peak current efficiency of 21.9 cd/A and 20.3 cd/A, respectively, were realized. To achieve the white electroluminescence, herein, a new red-emitting cationic Ir (III) complex (C3) using 2-(5-phenyl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyridine as ancillary ligand was designed and synthesized. A warm white light emitting, by doping C3 into the blue-green emitting C1, exhibits the current efficiency of 10.1 cd/A. In addition, the obtained LECs are more stable than those of previous reports due to presence of intrinsic super-cage structures in the systems. The results indicate that the efficient white LECs hold promising applications in the practical solid state lighting.
