Abstract: | Considerable research is currently focused on the organic electrophosphorescent materials due to their high luminescent efficiency. Electrophosphorescent material based on heavy metal complexes is a hot topic in the research of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). We synthesized a series of novel cyclometalated heavy metal complexes by introducing pheny-quinoline moieties into ligands by means of a convenient method (Scheme 1), and investigated their photophysical properties which indicated that those compounds exhibited red light-emitting and high luminescent efficiency.These complexes have been characterized by 1H NMR, UV-vis and PL. |
