New red phosphorescent iridium(III) complex with 4-tert-Butylphenyl-boronic acid of organic borane
A new phosphorescent (CQ-BP)(2)Ir(acac), (CMQ-BP)(2)Ir(acac), (BQ-BP)(2)Ir(acac) was synthesized for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs using phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes attract enormous attention because they allow highly efficient electro phosphorescence. The donor-acceptor type ligands for the Iridium(III) complexes were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. The ligands through changes in oxidative addition materials (electron-acceptor) and organic borane (electron-donor) to get the red color were to study the appropriate Iridium(III) complexes. Oxidative addition materials were used such as 2-chloro-4-methylquinoline, 1-chloroisoquinoline and 2-bromoquinoline. 4-tert-Butylphenyl-boronic acid was used as organic borane. The dopant was synthesized by Nonoyama reaction. Red dopants were observed with an emission peak at approximately 600nm. Iridium(III) complexes were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL). The phosphorescence emission maxima were dependent on the electron density of donor and acceptor moiety of the ligands.
