Using electron transport units containing 2′,6′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,4′-bipyridine as the main ligand and 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)phenol as the ancillary ligand, an iridium(iii) complex (Ir(BTBP)2TDZ) was synthesized, characterized and investigated in detail. The greenish yellow photoluminescence spectrum peaks at 551 nm with a quantum yield of 44%. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using Ir(BTBP)2TDZ as the emitter with a single light emitting layer (DS) and double light emitting layers (DD) were fabricated; the DS device exhibited better performances with a maximum current efficiency, power efficiency and external quantum efficiency of up to 54.5 cd A-1, 31.1 lm W-1 and 16.1%, respectively. The results suggest that the iridium complex with the 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative has potential application in efficient OLEDs.

Two iridium(III) complexes with 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-pyridin-4-yl)isoquinoline (tntpiq) as main ligand, 2-(5-pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenol (pop) and 2-(5-pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)phenol (psp) as ancillary ligands were investigated. Both complexes emit orange red lights with different photoluminescence efficiencies (Ir(tntpiq)2(pop): λem = 585 nm, Φ = 0.41 and Ir(tntpiq)2(psp): λem = 590 nm, Φ = 0.59). Moreover, the electron mobility values of the two complexes are higher than that of the electron transport material Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium), which are beneficial for their performances in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The devices with a structure of ITO/MoO3 (3 nm)/TAPC (1,1-bis[4-[N,N-di(p-tolyl)amino]pyridin-4-yl]cyclohexane, 30 nm)/Ir(III) complexes (2 wt%): 26DCzPPy (2,6-bis(3-(carbazol-9-yl)pyridin-4-yl)pyridine, 10 nm)/TmPyPB (1,3,5-tri(m-pyrid-3-yl-pyridin-4-yl)benzene, 40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) displayed similar performances with a maximum current efficiency of 24.3 cd A?1 and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 11.6%, respectively, and the efficiency roll-off is very mild.

Six iridium complexes with 2-(2-trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-pyridine as the main ligand and 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-phenol or 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-phenol derivatives as ancillary ligands were synthesized. The crystal structures of the complexes adopted pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry with the conventional trans-N, cis-C arrangement of main ligand and the ancillary ligand was connected to iridium center by an N atom from 1,3,4-oxadiazole or 1,3,4-thiadiazole group and an O atom from phenol moiety. Electrochemical study confirmed the ancillary ligand variations have effects on the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the frontier orbitals and the electronic properties of the complexes can be manipulated by introducing different ancillary ligands. The compositions of LUMO on the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ancillary ligands are higher than that of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives, and the HOMO - LUMO gaps are also decreased. Therefore, the emissions of the complexes with 1,3,4-thiadiazole ancillary ligands are shift from green to red. The organic light-emitting diodes with Ir3 and Ir6 as emitters show maximum current efficiencies of 41.08 and 50.92 cd/A, respectively, with mild efficiency roll-off. This work provides a way to tune the emission and device efficiency of IrIII complexes by introducing of 1,3,4-thiadiazole group in ancillary ligand.

We have designed and synthesized novel metal-chelate complexes based on polycyclic aromatic ligands for electroluminescent devices. These complexes exhibited strong luminescence with blue and green colors. EL properties of devices using these complexes for an emitting layer have been studied. Several good emitting materials were obtained and the EL properties were found to strongly depend on the ligand structure.
