The decomposition of iridium acetylacetonate Ir(acac)(3) impregnated on amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) has been investigated by combined thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis-mass spectrometry (TG-DTA-MS) and by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD). The resulting Ir/ASA hydrotreating catalysts have also been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of heating treatments under oxidative, reductive or inert gas flows are compared with each other and with similar experiments on ASA-supported acetylacetone (acacH). It is shown that Ir(acac)(3) undergoes exothermic combustion during calcination in air, leading to agglomerated IrO(2) particles. Conversely, direct reduction involves hydrogenolysis of the acac followed by hydrogenation of the ligand residues to alkanes and water. These two processes are catalyzed by Ir clusters, the gradual growth of which is followed in situ by XRD. The resulting nanoparticles are highly and homogeneously dispersed.

Highly efficient single-layer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are demonstrated by using a pure Mg cathode that is seeded with a small amount of Ag nucleation sites. Bis(4-phenylthieno[3,2-]pyridinato-,C2')(acetylacetonate)iridium(III) (PO-01)-doped devices with three-, two-, and one-region doping configurations exhibit maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) values of 22.8%, 21.

Achieving high-efficiency red phosphorescence remains a significant challenge, especially in cyclometalated platinum complexes where radiative rates are inherently slower than their iridium counterparts. In this work, six red-emitting cyclometalated platinum complexes of the formula Pt(CN)[(Ar)acNac] (CN is the cyclometalating ligand, and (Ar)acNac is an aryl-substituted β-ketoiminate ancillary ligand) were synthesized and characterized. Two CN ligands were employed, 1-phenylisoquinoline (piq) and its cyano-substituted analogue 1-phenylisoquinoline-4-carbonitrile (piqCN), which both result in red phosphorescence in cyclometalated platinum complexes.

The establishment of rapid target analysis methods for cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) is urgently needed. [Ir(pbi)(acac)] (pbi = 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-hydrogen -benzimidazole, acac = acetylacetonate) as traditional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores has been confined due to its non-negligible dark toxicity and poor water solubility leading to poor biocompatibility and electrical conductivity as an organic molecule. Hence, to overcome this limitation, [Ir(pbi)(acac)] can be effectively loaded on the polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel modified TiCT MXene surface (Ir@TiCT-PVA) as sensing platform which can emit high ECL signals.

Herein, we present two novel cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes of dinuclear and trinuclear design, and , respectively, where is 4,6-di(4-tert-butylphenyl)pyrimidine ligand and is acetylacetonate ligand. In both cases, -diastereomers were isolated during the synthesis. The materials show intense phosphorescence of outstanding rates ( = Φ/τ) with corresponding radiative decay times of only τ = 1/ = 0.

White organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) have several desirable features, but their commercialization is hindered by the poor stability of blue light emitters and high production costs due to complicated device structures. Herein, we investigate a standard blue emitting hole transporting material (HTM) N,N'-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (NPB) and its exciplex emission upon combining with a suitable electron transporting material (ETM), 3-(biphenyl-4-yl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ). Blue and yellow OLEDs with simple device structures are developed by using a blend layer, NPB:TAZ, as a blue emitter as well as a host for yellow phosphorescent dopant iridium (III) bis(4-phenylthieno[3,2-c]pyridinato-N,C)acetylacetonate (PO-01).
