Green to blue-green-emitting cationic iridium complexes free of sp2 C-F bonds, namely [Ir(CF3-dPhTAZ)2(bpy)]PF6 (1), [Ir(CF3-dPhTAZ)2(dmebpy)]PF6 (2) and [Ir(CF3-dPhTAZ)2(phpyim)]PF6 (3), have been designed and synthesized with 3,4-diphenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (CF3-dPhTAZ) as the cyclometalating ligand (C^N) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dmebpy) or 2-(1-phenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine (phpyim) as the ancillary ligand (N^N). In CH3CN solution, complexes 1-3 afford green to blue-green emission centered at 521, 508 and 498 nm, resp. The electron-withdrawing CF3 group attached at the triazole ring in CF3-dPhTAZ largely blue-shifts (by over 20 nm) the emission of the complex through stabilizing the HOMO. In doped films, the complexes afford sky-blue emission with near-unity phosphorescent efficiencies. In neat films, the complexes show largely suppressed phosphorescence concentration-quenching, with phosphorescent efficiencies of up to 0.66. Theor. calculations reveal that the emission of the complexes can arise from either charge-transfer (Ir → C^N/C^N → N^N) or C^N/N^N-centered 3π-π* states, depending on the local environment of the complexes. Solid-state light-emitting electrochem. cells (LECs) based on the complexes afford green to blue-green electroluminescence centered at 525, 517 and 509 nm, resp., with high current efficiencies of up to 35.1 cd A-1. The work reveals that CF3-dPhTAZ is a promising C^N ligand free of sp2 C-F bonds for constructing efficient cationic iridium complexes with blue-shifted emission. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Electric Literature of C12H12N2)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.Electric Literature of C12H12N2 Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
