摘要：Four heteroleptic bis-cyclometalated iridium-(III) complexes containing 2-aryl-benzothiazole ligands, in which the aryl is dibenzofuran-2-yl [Ir(O-bt)(2)(acac)], dibenzothiophene-2-yl [Ir(S-bt)(2)(acac)], dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide-2-yl [Ir(SO2-bt)(2)(acac)] and 4-(diphenylphosphoryl)phenyl [Ir(PO-bt)(2)(acac)], have been synthesized and characterized for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These complexes emit bright yellow (551 nm) to orange-red (598 nm) phosphorescence at room temperature, the peak wavelengths of which can be finely tuned depending upon the electronic properties of the aryl group in the 2-position of benzothiazole. The strong electron-withdrawing aryls such as dibenzothiophene-S,S-dimdde2-yl and 4-(diphenylphosphoryl)phenyl caused bathochromatic shift of the iridium complex phosphorescence. These iridium complexes were used as doped emitters to fabricate yellow to orange-red OLEDs and good performance was obtained. In particular, a maximum luminance efficiency of 58.4 cd A(-1) (corresponding to 30.6 lm W-1 and 19%) with CIE coordinates of (0.45, 0.52) was achieved for Ir(O-bt)(2)(acac)-based yellow device. Furthermore, the yellow emitting Ir(S-bt)(2)(acac) was used to fabricate two-element white OLED that exhibited a high efficiency of 32.4 cd A(-1) with CIE coordinates of (0.28, 0.44).
