Abstract:

Two novel iridium(iii) complexes, Ir(tfmpiq)2(acac) (tfmpiq = 1-(2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)isoquinoline, acac = acetylacetone) and Ir(tfmpqz)2(acac) (tfmpqz = 4-(2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-yl)quinazoline), were synthesized and thoroughly investigated. Both complexes emit orange-red photoluminescence with high quantum yields (Ir(tfmpiq)2(acac): λmax: 587 nm, ηPL: 42%; Ir(tfmpqz)2(acac): λmax: 588 nm, ηPL: 91%). Furthermore, the complex containing quinazoline shows higher electron mobility than that with isoquinoline. The organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with single- or double-emitting layers (EML) were fabricated using two new emitters. The double-EML device using Ir(tfmpqz)2(acac) with the structure of ITO (indium-tin-oxide)/MoO3 (molybdenum oxide, 3 nm)/TAPC (di-[4-(N,N-ditolyl-amino)-phenyl]cyclohexane, 50 nm)/Ir(tfmpqz)2(acac) (1 wt%):TcTa (4,4',4''-tris(carbazole-9-yl)triphenylamine, 10 nm)/Ir(tfmpqz)2(acac) (1 wt%):2,6DCzPPy (2,6-bis(3-(carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)pyridine, 10 nm)/TmPyPB (1,3,5-tri(m-pyrid-3-yl-phenyl)benzene, 50 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) displays good electroluminescence performances with a maximum luminance of 96 609 cd m-2, a maximum current efficiency of 59.09 cd A-1, a maximum external quantum efficiency of 20.2%, a maximum power efficiency of 53.61 lm W-1, and the efficiency roll-off ratio is mild.
