Abstract

We have synthesized a new tris-orthometalated Ir(mpp)3 and several bis-orthometalated Ir(III) complexes of 3-methyl-2-phenylpyridine(Hmpp). The influence of the methyl substituent in Hmpp and different ligand environments on the optical, electrochemical and electroluminescence properties of the orthometalated complexes are examined by varying the donor acceptor properties. This includes several uninegative bidentate ligands consisting of different organic functional groups. Absorption, excitation and emission spectra in solution and solid state of these complexes agree with a strong electronic excitation to 1MLCT in Ir(mpp)3 and preferably to 3MLCT in other complexes. These complexes demonstrate strong phosphorescence at room temperature with a lifetime of 1-2 μs. Multilayer organic light emitting devices using these complexes as the triplet emitter are studied using PVK (poly(9-vinyl carbazole)), CBP (4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl) and TAZ (3-phenyl-4-(1'-napthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole) as the host materials. Ir(mpp)3exhibits quite different behavior in different host materials.
