Benzoselenophenylpyridine platinum complexes: green versus red phosphorescence towards hybrid OLEDs.

The first examples of phosphorescent platinum complexes bearing 2- and 3-(2-pyridyl)benzo[b]selenophenes (PyBSe) were synthesized and fully characterized. Almost identical ionization potential values (5.6 and 5.

Synthesis and Performance in OLEDs of Selenium-Containing Phosphorescent Emitters with Red Emission Color Deeper Than the Corresponding NTSC Standard.

The synthesis of new iridium(III) complexes containing a 2-(benzo[]selenophen-2-yl)pyridine ligand is reported along with their photophysical, thermal, electrochemical and electroluminescent properties. These complexes are characterized by deep red phosphorescence with photoluminescence quantum yields exceeding 31% in the solid state. Solid layers of the complexes were characterized by ionization potentials of 5.
