The synthesis and photophysical study of two novel tert-butyl modified cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes, i.e., bis(4-tert-butyl-2-phenylbenzothiozolato-N,C 2' ) iridium(III)(acetylacetonate) [(tbt) 2 Ir(acac)] and bis(4-tert-butyl-1 -phenyl-1H-benzimidazolato-N,C 2' ) iridium(III)(acetylacetonate) [(tpbi) 2 Ir(acac)], are reported, their molecular structures were characterized by 13 C NMR, 1 H NMR, ESI-MS, FT-IR, and elementary analysis. Compared with their prototypes without tert-butyl substituents [(bt) 2 Ir(acac) and (pbi) 2 Ir(acac)], (tbt) 2 Ir(acac) and (tpbi) 2 Ir(acac) both have shortened phosphorescent lifetimes[(tbt) 2 -Ir(acac) versus (bt) 2 Ir(acac), 1.1 μs:1.8 [μs; (pbi) 2 Ir(acac) versus (tpbi) 2 Ir(acac), 0.8 μs:1.82 μs]. Moreover, (tbt) 2 Ir(acac) has much more improved phototoluminescence quantum efficiencies in CH 2 Cl 2 solution, [(tbt) 2 Ir(acac), 0.51; (bt) 2 Ir(acac), 0.26]. Employing them as dopants, high performance double-layer PLEDs were fabricated. The (tbt) 2 Ir(acac)-based and (tpbi) 2 -Ir(acac)-based PLEDs have the maximum external quantum efficiencies of 8.71 % and 10.25 %, respectively, and high EL quantum efficiencies of 5.92 % and 7.21 % can be achieved under high driven current density of 100 mA cm -2 . PLEDs fabricated with both the two phosphors have much broadened EL spectra with FWHM of > 110 nm, which afford the feasibility to be used as dopants in white LEDs, and the best doping concentrations of the two complexes in fabrication of PLEDs were optimized. |
