Tuning the saturated red emission: synthesis, electrochemistry and photophysics of 2-arylquinoline based iridium(III) complexes and their application in OLEDs

A series of novel iridium(III) complexes with two 2-arylquinoline derivatives as cyclometalated ligands and one monoanionic ligand, such as acetylacetonate (acac), N,N'-diethyldithiocarbamate (Et(2)dtc) and O,O'-diethyldithiophosphate (Et(2)dtp), as ancillary ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized by H-1 NMR, MS and elemental analysis (EA). The cyclic voltammetry, absorption, emission and electroluminescence properties of these complexes were systematically investigated. Through extending pi-conjugation, introducing electron-donating groups in the ligand frame, or changing the ancillary ligands, the HOMO energy levels of the iridium(III) complexes can be tuned, while their LUMO levels remain little affected; in consequence, the emission wavelengths of the iridium(III) complexes can be tuned in the range 606-653 nm. The highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with saturated red emission have been demonstrated. A maximum current efficiency of 10.79 cd A(-1), at a current density of 0.74 mA cm(-2), with an emission wavelength of 616 nm and Commisioon Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.65, 0.35), which are very close to the National Television System Comittee (NSTC) standard red emission, have been achieved when using complex (DPQ)(2)Ir(acac) as a phosphor dopant.

Micromodification of element distribution in glass using femtosecond laser irradiation

We report micromodification of Eu element distribution in a silicate glass with femtosecond laser irradiation. Elemental analysis shows that the content of Eu decreased at the focal point and increased in a ring-shaped region around the focal point, which indicates migration of Eu ions has been induced by the femtosecond laser irradiation. Confocal fluorescence spectra demonstrate that the fluorescence intensity of Eu3+ ions increased by 20% in the laser-induced, Eu-enriched, ring-shaped region compared with that for nonirradiated glass. The mechanism for the laser induced change in fluorescence properties of Eu3+ has been investigated. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

Spectroscopic and thermal properties of short wavelength metal (II) complexes containing alpha-isoxazolylazo-beta-diketones as co-ligands

Two new azo dyes of alpha-isoxazolylazo-beta-dilcetones and their Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with blue-violet light wavelength were synthesized using a coupling component, different diazo components and metal (II) ions (Ni2+ and Cu2+). Based on the elemental analysis, MS spectra and FT-IR spectral analyses, azo dyes were unequivocally shown to exist as hydrazoketo and azoenol forms which were respectively obtained from the solution forms and from the solid forms. The action of sodium methoxide (NaOMe) on azo dyes in solutions converts hydrazoketo form into azoenol form, so azo dyes are coordinated with metal (II) ions as co-ligands in the azoenol forms. The solubility of all the compounds in common organic solvents such as 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propanol (TFP) or chloroform (CHCl3) and absorption properties of spin-coating thin films were measured. The difference of absorption maxima from the complexes to their ligands was discussed. In addition, the TG analysis of the complexes was also determined, and their thermal stability was evaluated. It is found that these new metal (II) complexes had potential application for high-density digital versatile disc-recordable (HD-DVD-R) system due to their good solubility in organic solvents, reasonable and controllable absorption spectra in blue-violet light region and high thermal stability.
