The larger conjugation of the replacement of acetylacetone （acac） by a functionalizedβ-diketonate ligand led to a significant decrease in the HOMO level toward vacuum level, while Ir（1-piq）2G1 and Ir（1-piq）2（acac） showed red phosphorescent emissions of about 620 nm in dichloromethane solution. The phosphorescent polymer light-emitting devices were achieved, with the complexes incorporated with polyfluorene （PFO） as a host polymer doped with 30% of 5-（4-biphenylyl）-2-（4-tert-butylphenyl）-1,3,4-oxadiazole （PBD） as electron transport material. The energy transfer mechanism of the devices was also discussed. The lower EL performance of Ir（1-piq）2G1 is ascribed to the inter-ligand energy transfer, indicating that it is important to control the energy level of the cyclometalated and ancillary ligands.展开更多

Upon photoexcitation to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer （MLCT） states, the excited-state dynamics shows a rapid process （τ-=0.7-3 ps） for the formation of solvent stabilized 3MLCT states, which significantly depends on the solvent polarity for both 1 and 2. Sequentially, a relatively slow process assigned to the vibrational cooling/geometrical relaxation and a long-lived phospho- rescent emissive state is identified. Due to the different excited-state electronic structures regulated by ancillary ligands, the solvation-induced stabilization of the 3MLCT state in 1 is faster than that in 2. The present results provide a better sight of excited-state relaxation dynamics of ligand-related iridium（Ⅲ） complexes and solvation effects on triplet manifolds.展开更多

The thermal stability, UV absorption and photoluminescent properties of this iridium complex were investigated. Compared with iridium （Ⅲ） bis[（4,6-difluorophenyl）pyridinato-N, C^2]（picolinate） reported as a highly-efficient blue electroluminescent material, this iridium complex bearing an oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative presents higher thermal stability, more intense UV absorption at 291 nm and similar photoluminescent spectrum peaked at 469 nm. This indicates that tuning ancillary ligand of picolinic acid with an oxadiazole unit can improve the optophysical properties of its iridium complex.展开更多

The ligands are functionalized by bulky non-planarity substituents, thus the phosphorescent concentration quenching is substantially suppressed, and all the complexes exhibit bright photoluminescence（PL） in solid state. The photo-physical properties of the three iridium complexes were researched in detail. The results indicate that they have potential application in fabricating non-doped electrophosphorescence device.展开更多
Two new iridium complexes with C^N=N type ligand （i.e., Ir（BFPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（4-fluorophenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）} and Ir（BDFPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（2,4-di-fluorophenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）}） attach...Two new iridium complexes with C^N=N type ligand （i.e., Ir（BFPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（4-fluorophenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）} and Ir（BDFPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（2,4-di-fluorophenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）}） attaching with fluorine atoms, were synthesized and the effects of fluorination on the material properties and device performance were investigated. Compared with our previously reported fluorine-free analogue material, that is Ir（BPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（phenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）}, blue shifts in the emission spectra as well as in the long wavelength region of the absorptions were observed. The photoluminescence quantum yield （PLQY） （0.44 and 0.84 vs. 0.29）, phosphoresces lifetime （0.88 and 1.31 vs. 0.66 gs）, and oxidation potential （1.10 and 1.37 vs. 0.95 V） increased obviously after fluorinating the ligand. In contrast, the thermal stability of the iridium complexes decreased slightly （Td： 435 and 402 vs. 440 ℃）. In the density functional theory （DFT） calculations, by comparing the steric shape of the three ligands within one optimized molecule, orientational differences among the complexes were observed. In OLED device studies, bluish green electroluminescence with peak emission of 500 nm, using the electron-transporting host of TPBI [2,2＇,2＂-（1,3,5-benzenetriyl）tris（1-phenyl-lH-benzimidazole）] and the most fluorinated dopant of Ir（BDFPPya）3, was achieved with maximum efficiency of 20.3 cd/A. On one hand this efficiency is not satisfactory considering a high PLQY of 0.84. On the other hand with the similar device structure, that the （HOMO-LUMO）s of all the dopants are wrapped within that of the host TPBI, and all the triplet energies of the dopants are smaller than that of the host TPBI, it is abnormal that the ordering of device efficiencies is contradictory to that of PLQY. Assisting with the phosphorescent spectrum of TPBI and the absorption spectra of the dopant, the contradiction was interpreted reasonably.展开更多

The enhancement of the maximum power efficiency in green phosphorescent device can reach 37.2%. Dichromatic white OLED could be achieved by simply adjusting the concentration of the orange dyes. At a brightness of 1000 cd/m2, the power efficiency of the white device is 8.4 lm/W with a color ren- dering index of 76.展开更多

Compared with inorganic nonlinear optical materials, organic nonlinear materials have outstanding advantages: strong adaptability, high flexibility, low cost, easy modification and damage resistance. In this review, the electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) experimental technology is used to measure and research the nonlinearity of iridium metal complexes. And because of its structural diversity, people can design molecules according to their needs to get the best nonlinear optical response. Organic molecules with large nonlinear coefficients should have the following characteristics: asymmetric charge distribution, the delocalized nature of π electrons, and easy polarization by external electric fields, and a large π conjugated system. In recent years, metal organic compounds have become a leader in the field of optics, mainly because of their very good nonlinear optical properties. In the future, people will do more investigation on the nonlinearity of metal organic complexes. Researchers have shown great interest in iridium metal organic complexes due in particular to their attractive stability and nonlinear activity. This review mainly studies the nonlinear principle, performance test and Measurement of nonlinearity of iridium metal complexes. The nonlinear properties of other metal-metal organic complexes will not be discussed.展开更多

文摘Herein,we design and synthesize a series of oligomers[Ir(ppy)2(dabpy)-ODPA]n(D1-n)by copolymerization of[Ir(ppy)2(dabpy)][PF6](D2)with 4,4′-Oxydiphthalic anhydride(ODPA),to resolve the problem of simultaneous improvement of sta-bility and activity of classical iridium complex for photocatalytic water-splitting.Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance,and gel permeation chromatography results indicate that the degree of polymerization(n)of D1-n could be tuned by the syn-thesis method.The best photocatalytic performance is reached by D1-n with n at of 2 and/or 3(D1-2/3),which exhibits a photocatalytic lifetime up to 676 h and a photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of 162055.1 Compared with classicalμmol⋅g-1.iridium complex D2,the photocatalytic lifetime of D1-2/3 is about 38 times longer and the photocatalytic activity is 1.3 times higher.Further increase of n leads to a decrease in both photocatalytic lifetime and activity.According to the spectro-scopic characterizations,photoelectrochemical experiments,and density functional theory calculation,the significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance of D1-2/3 originates from the oligomeric structure.The oligomer chain of D1-2/3 with suit-able length acts as a large steric hindrance to reduce the undesired photoinduced decomposition and prolong its lifetime.The possible coupling of adjacent Ir com-plexes in D1-2/3 lowers the energy gap and increases the utilization of visible light,which overcomes the adverse effect of large steric hindrance andfinally improve the activity.This workfirst provides a simple strategy for constructing oligomeric Ir photosensitizers to simultaneously achieve long lifetime and high activity,it will lay the foundation for the design of highly efficient photosensitizers in the future.
文摘Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)have important applications in the field of next-generation displays and lighting,and phosphorescent iridium complexes are an important class of electroluminescent phosphorescent materials.In this paper,Ir(bmppy)_(3),tris(4-methyl-2,5-diphenylpyridine)iridium,was synthesized and elvaluted for photo-physical characteristics.Single crystals suitale for X-ray diffraction(XRD)were grown from a mixture solvent of dichloromethane and absolute ethanol.The composition and structur of Ir(bmppy)_(3)were determined by element analysis,NMR spectra and XRD.The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic symmetry with the space group P21/c with a slightly distorted octahedral configuration.As measured by UV-Visible and photoluminescence spectra,Ir(bmppy)_(3) displays a maximum emission at at 527 nm at ambient temperature,a typical green-emitting profile.The complex has potential for application in the OLED industry.
文摘To elucidate the nature of low-lying triplet states and the effect of ligand modifica- tions on the excited-state properties of functional cationic iridium complexes, the solvent- dependent excited-state dynamics of two phosphorescent cationic iridium（Ⅲ） complexes, namely [Ir（dph-oxd）2（bpy）]PF6 （1） and [Ir（dph-oxd）2（pzpy）]Pf6 （2）, were investigated by femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Upon photoexcitation to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer （MLCT） states, the excited-state dynamics shows a rapid process （τ-=0.7-3 ps） for the formation of solvent stabilized 3MLCT states, which significantly depends on the solvent polarity for both 1 and 2. Sequentially, a relatively slow process assigned to the vibrational cooling/geometrical relaxation and a long-lived phospho- rescent emissive state is identified. Due to the different excited-state electronic structures regulated by ancillary ligands, the solvation-induced stabilization of the 3MLCT state in 1 is faster than that in 2. The present results provide a better sight of excited-state relaxation dynamics of ligand-related iridium（Ⅲ） complexes and solvation effects on triplet manifolds.
文摘A new cyclometalated iridium（IlI） complex Ir（DPP）3 （DPP=2,3-diphenylpyrazine） was prepared by reaction of DPP with iridium trichloride hydrate under microwave irradiation. The structure of the complex was confirmed by elemental analysis, ^1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescent properties of the complex were investigated. The complex shows strong ^1MLCT （singlet metal to ligand charge-transfer） and aMLCT （triplet metal to ligand charge-transfer） absorption at 382 and 504 nm, respectively. The complex also shows strong photoluminescence at 573 nm at room temperature. These results suggest the complex to be a promising phosphorescent material.

文摘An iridium （Ⅲ） bis[（4,6-difluorophenyl）pyridinato-N, C^2][6-（6＇-（4＂-（ 5＂-phenyl- 1＂, 3＂, 4＂-oxadiazole-2＂-yl） phenoxy） hexyloxy picolinate） was synthesized and characterized by IH NMR and elementary analysis in order to study the effect of ancillary ligand of the oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative on optophysical properties of its iridium complex, and further to obtain an iridium complex with highly-efficient blue emission. The thermal stability, UV absorption and photoluminescent properties of this iridium complex were investigated. Compared with iridium （Ⅲ） bis[（4,6-difluorophenyl）pyridinato-N, C^2]（picolinate） reported as a highly-efficient blue electroluminescent material, this iridium complex bearing an oxadiazole-based picolinic acid derivative presents higher thermal stability, more intense UV absorption at 291 nm and similar photoluminescent spectrum peaked at 469 nm. This indicates that tuning ancillary ligand of picolinic acid with an oxadiazole unit can improve the optophysical properties of its iridium complex.

文摘Three novel cyclometalated ligands 1-benzyl-2-phenyl-lH-benzoimidazole（BPBM）, 1-（4-methoxy- benzyl）-2-（4-methoxy-phenyl）-lH-benzoimidazole（MBMPB） and 4-[2-（4-dimethylamino-phenyl）-benzoinidazol-1- ylmethyl]-phenyl-dimethyl-amine（DBPA） were designed and synthesized, and the corresponding highly efficiency green-emitting phosphorescent iridium complexes Ir（BPBM）2（acac）（1）, Ir（MBMPB）2（acac）（2） and Ir（DPBA）2（acac） （3） with acetylacetone（acac） as auxiliary ligand were also synthesized. The ligands are functionalized by bulky non-planarity substituents, thus the phosphorescent concentration quenching is substantially suppressed, and all the complexes exhibit bright photoluminescence（PL） in solid state. The photo-physical properties of the three iridium complexes were researched in detail. The results indicate that they have potential application in fabricating non-doped electrophosphorescence device.

文摘Two new iridium complexes with C^N=N type ligand （i.e., Ir（BFPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（4-fluorophenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）} and Ir（BDFPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（2,4-di-fluorophenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）}） attaching with fluorine atoms, were synthesized and the effects of fluorination on the material properties and device performance were investigated. Compared with our previously reported fluorine-free analogue material, that is Ir（BPPya）3{tris[3,6-bis（phenyl）pyridazine]iridium（III）}, blue shifts in the emission spectra as well as in the long wavelength region of the absorptions were observed. The photoluminescence quantum yield （PLQY） （0.44 and 0.84 vs. 0.29）, phosphoresces lifetime （0.88 and 1.31 vs. 0.66 gs）, and oxidation potential （1.10 and 1.37 vs. 0.95 V） increased obviously after fluorinating the ligand. In contrast, the thermal stability of the iridium complexes decreased slightly （Td： 435 and 402 vs. 440 ℃）. In the density functional theory （DFT） calculations, by comparing the steric shape of the three ligands within one optimized molecule, orientational differences among the complexes were observed. In OLED device studies, bluish green electroluminescence with peak emission of 500 nm, using the electron-transporting host of TPBI [2,2＇,2＂-（1,3,5-benzenetriyl）tris（1-phenyl-lH-benzimidazole）] and the most fluorinated dopant of Ir（BDFPPya）3, was achieved with maximum efficiency of 20.3 cd/A. On one hand this efficiency is not satisfactory considering a high PLQY of 0.84. On the other hand with the similar device structure, that the （HOMO-LUMO）s of all the dopants are wrapped within that of the host TPBI, and all the triplet energies of the dopants are smaller than that of the host TPBI, it is abnormal that the ordering of device efficiencies is contradictory to that of PLQY. Assisting with the phosphorescent spectrum of TPBI and the absorption spectra of the dopant, the contradiction was interpreted reasonably.

文摘Nonlinear optical materials are one of the key research objects in the field of optics, which mainly research the nonlinear effects of the interaction between luminesce and matter. Compared with inorganic nonlinear optical materials, organic nonlinear materials have outstanding advantages: strong adaptability, high flexibility, low cost, easy modification and damage resistance. In this review, the electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) experimental technology is used to measure and research the nonlinearity of iridium metal complexes. And because of its structural diversity, people can design molecules according to their needs to get the best nonlinear optical response. Organic molecules with large nonlinear coefficients should have the following characteristics: asymmetric charge distribution, the delocalized nature of π electrons, and easy polarization by external electric fields, and a large π conjugated system. In recent years, metal organic compounds have become a leader in the field of optics, mainly because of their very good nonlinear optical properties. In the future, people will do more investigation on the nonlinearity of metal organic complexes. Researchers have shown great interest in iridium metal organic complexes due in particular to their attractive stability and nonlinear activity. This review mainly studies the nonlinear principle, performance test and Measurement of nonlinearity of iridium metal complexes. The nonlinear properties of other metal-metal organic complexes will not be discussed.
