Novel, highly efficient blue-emitting heteroleptic iridium(iii) complexes based on fluorinated 1,3,4-oxadiazole: tuning to blue by dithiolate ancillary ligands

Abstract

Novel blue-emitting phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes with fluorinated 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as cyclometalated ligands and dithiolates as ancillary ligands have been synthesized and fully characterized; highly efficient OLEDs have been achieved using these complexes in the light-blue to blue-emitting region.
