Electroluminescent (EL) properties of Ir(III) complex, [(2,4-diphenylquinoli-ne)]₂Iridium picolinic acid N-oxide [(DPQ)₂Ir(pic-N-O)] were investigated using PEDOT:PSS and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a hole transport layer for solution processable phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). High performance solution-processable PhOLED with PEDOT:PSS and (DPQ)₂Ir(pic-N-O) (8 wt%) doped CBP:TPD:PBD (8:56:12) host emission layer were fabricated to give a high luminance efficiency (LE) of 26.9 cd/A, equivelent to an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 14.2%. The corresponding PhOLED with rGO as a hole transport layer exhibited the maximum brightness and LE of 13540 cd/m² and 16.8 cd/A, respectively. The utilization of the solution processable rGO thin films as the hole transport layer offered the great potential to the fabrication of solution processable PhOLEDs.

Synthesis and structure of tris(N-methylaminoethanoldithiocarbamato)arsenic(III)

The title compound was synthesized by the interaction of arsenic(III)chloride with freshly prepared N-methylaminoethanoldithiocarbamic acid in methanol. The compound crystallized in the triclinic system, space groupP with two molecules per unit cell, the dimensions area=6.509(10)Å,b=14.077(3)Å,c=14.195(3)Å, =64.16(2)^o, =84.67(2)^o and =84.00(2)^o. The molecule is monomeric with three short (mean 2.320(3)Å) and three long (mean 2.927(2)Å) As-S bonds. Asymmetry in the As-S bonds is due to the presence of stereochemically active lone pair on arsenic and the coordination polyhedron deviates from the usual D₃ symmetry to C₃ symmetry. Disorder exists in one of the dithiocarbamate ligands probably due to the O...O interaction arising from the water molecule. The anisobidenticity of the As-S bond distances is as a consequence of stereochemical requirement of the ligand and the lone pair of electrons on arsenic.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the complex (C₂₀H₂₅ClN₂O₆SZn) revealed that quinine forms a zigzag coordination polymeric complex with Zn(II) of extended chains –ZnCl–O–SO₂–O–Zn–O–SO₂–O–ZnCl–.

Each Zn(II) centre is thus coordinated to an O atom from each of two sulphate bridges, a Cl atom and quinoline atom N(4) of the quinine moiety. The second quinuclidine nitrogen in the quinine is protonated. In the crystal, there is linkage of two polymeric chains related by a twofold rotation axis, resulting in a bilayer. The linking is achieved by hydrogen bonding from the quinine cation which provides two donors (–OH, N⁺–H), to oxygen atoms of sulphate groups which act as acceptors.
