Popis: To obtain highly efficient white-emitting devices, a novel functionalized dinuclear iridium (III) complex of C 8 TPA(FIrpic) 2 was successfully synthesized and characterized. In this phosphor, FIrpic is a blue-emitting phosphorescent chromophore of iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2′] picolate and C 8 TPA is a blue-emitting fluorescent chromophore of triphenylamine as bridging donor. Its optophysical and electro-phosphorescent properties were primarily investigated. White emission with an increasing current efficiency of 1.31 cd/A at 15.3 mA/cm 2 and brightness of 1770 cd/m 2 at 656.3 mA/cm 2 was obtained in its single-emissive-layer OLEDs with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/C 8 TPA(FIrpic) 2 (10 wt %):TCTA/TPBi/LiF/Al. The results indicate that an introduction of triphenylamine group into dinuclear iridium (III) complexes as bridged donor can improve the performance of its iridium (III) complexes-doped OLEDs.
