Popis: In this paper, eight new zirconium complexes with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4btec), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 4,7-diphenyl–1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen), were prepared and used as light emitting material in fabricated OLEDs. The structures of these complexes were characterized by UV–vis, FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, CHN and ICP–AES. A yellow–green photoluminescence (PL) emission with a red shift compared to the PVK:PBD blend was observed. Devices with Zr complexes with the structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK:PBD/zirconium complex/Al emitted a yellow–red light originating from the Zr complexes. We believe that electroplex occurring at PVK–Zr complex interface is responsible for the red emission in the EL of the device.
