Usage

Classification

Organometallic, Electron transport-layer materials (ETL), Electron injection-layer materials (EIL), OLED emitting layer material (ELM).

Applications

Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum(III), commonly known as Alq3, is widely used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an electron-transport material (ETM) and emitting layer material (ELM) due to its high thermal stability, high quantum yield of fluorescence and high electron-transport ability. Alq3 as the electron-transport and emitting layer material was the first efficient low molecular weight OLED reported by Tang in 1987 [1]. Since then, metaloquinolates have become the focus of new electroluminescent materials research, with Alq3 being the most studied.

Investigation of environmental and concentration effects on fluorescence properties of AlQ3 using mesoporous silica and polyacrylate

In this work, for the first time, control over the position of maximum emission peak for fluorophore, using embedded tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (AlQ3) complexes into different types of host materials, can be achieved. Moreover, the envir

Understanding M-ligand bonding and: Mer -/ fac -isomerism in tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) metallic complexes

Tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) metallic complexes, Mq3, are one of the most important classes of organic semiconductor materials. Herein, the nature of the chemical bond in Mq3 complexes and its implications on their molecular properties were investigated by a combined experimental and computational approach. Various Mq3 complexes, resulting from the alteration of the metal and substitution of the 8-hydroxyquinoline ligand in different positions, were prepared. The mer-/fac-isomerism in Mq3 was explored by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, evidencing that, irrespective of the substituent, mer- and fac-are the most stable molecular configurations of Al(iii) and In(iii) complexes, respectively. The relative M-ligand bond dissociation energies were evaluated experimentally by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS), showing a non-monotonous variation along the group (Al > In > Ga). The results reveal a strong covalent character in M-ligand bonding, which allows for through-ligand electron delocalization, and explain the preferred molecular structures of Mq3 complexes as resulting from the interplay between bonding and steric factors. The mer-isomer reduces intraligand repulsions, being preferred for smaller metals, while the fac-isomer is favoured for larger metals where stronger covalent M-ligand bonds can be formed due to more extensive through-ligand conjugation mediated by metal d orbitals.

A theoretical and experimental study on meridional-facial isomerization of tris(quinolin-8-olate)aluminum (Alq3)

The rationale behind the stereospecific synthesis of a facial isomer of tris(quinolin-8-olate)aluminum (Alq3) is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which predict the favourable influence of an H3O+ ion on the distribution ratio between a meridional and a thermodynamically unstable facial isomer.
