Abstract
Seven cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes Ir1–Ir7 based on phenylpyrazole derivatives as main ligands and tetraphenylimidodiphosphinate (tpip) as the ancillary ligand were synthesized and fully characterized. The proligands of 1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrazole (cf3ppz, 2a), substituted phenyl-2H-indazole {2-phenyl-2H-indazole (h-1-pidz, 2b), 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2H-indazole (f-1-pidz, 2c), and 2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2H-indazole (cf3-1-pidz, 2d)}, and substituted phenyl-1H-indazole {1-phenyl-1H-indazole (h-7-pidz, 2e), 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-indazole (f-7-pidz, 2f), and 1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-indazole (cf3-7-pidz, 2g)} were prepared with good yields. The emission maxima of all Ir(III) complexes can be tuned from 453 to 576 nm with different photoluminescence quantum yields (10.4–70.9%) by varying the type of substituent on the different main ligand frameworks. The organic light-emitting diodes using Ir(III) complexes as the emitters with blue, bluish-green, and yellow colors exhibit...
