The application belongs to the technical field of organic photoelectric material, and discloses a kind of
tricyclic metal iridium (III) complex containing
viologen unit and a preparation method and application thereof, and the
iridium (III) complex is composed of two ring
metal C^N ligands with strong
electron-withdrawing
effect modification and a C^N ligand with electroactive
viologen substituent group;Two ring
metal C^N ligands are modified by
electron-withdrawing group to regulate the orbital
energy level of
iridium (III) complex, reduce the emission energy, promote the near-
infrared luminescence of the complex before electric stimulation, utilize the strong
electron-withdrawing ability and reversible
redox characteristics of
viologen substituent group, combine the rich
excited state properties of iridium (III) complex, under electric stimulation, the reversible
redox reaction of iridium (III) complex occurs, and the electric stimulation
phosphorescence response of the material is realized;With the electron-donating property of viologen unit after electric reduction, the transition mode of iridium complex is changed, and the C^N ligand containing viologen
substituent group is forced to participate in the
excited state transition, realizing the
luminescence conversion from near-
infrared light to visible light.
