A class of orange-light iridium complexes and their application in organic electro-whitening or orange-light devices

Abstract

The invention discloses organic optical iridium coordination compounds and application thereof in an organic electro-generated white or orange optical device. The orange optical iridium coordinate compounds have a structural formula as formula 1 or formula 2 which is shown in the specification, wherein R1 can be trifluoromethyl or pentafluoroethyl, R4 can be trifluoromethyl or pentafluoroethyl or R1=R4, R2 is selected from hydrogen, methyl, ethyl and halogen or halogen-substituted methyl or ethyl, R3 is independently selected from hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, halogen or halogen-substituted methyl or ethyl or R2=R3, and the halogen is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. The invention has the advantages as follows: a fluorine-containing modified iridium coordination compound can be used for effectively lowering vibrating frequency, reducing non-radiative transition and increasing electroluminescence efficiency; a film prepared by using a fluorine atom-containing modified coordination compound has better feature; self-quenching behaviors are restrained by steric hindrance of CF3; and charge transfer balance performance is increased by very good current carrier transmission performance, so that an efficient doped organic electro-generated luminescent device can be manufactured.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic electroluminescence, and in particular relates to the synthesis of orange iridium complexes based on 2-phenylbenzothiazole nitrogen heterocycles as ligands and the use of such materials in white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) in the application. Background technique

[0002] Heavy metal complexes with phosphorescent emission have attracted sufficient attention in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their good color purity, high quantum efficiency, short phosphorescence lifetime, and high photothermal stability. In particular, modified cyclic metal ligands (C ∧ N ligand) can control the luminescence of the complexes to be tunable in the entire visible light range, which is beneficial to realize full-light and white-light displays. Tuning phosphorescence emission can usually be achieved by changing the C ∧ Substituent groups on N ligands, such as ppy(2-phenyl-pyridinato-C 2 ,N),...
