A new class of highly luminescent bipolar alkynylplatinum(II) complexes has been synthesized, characterized, and applied as phosphorescent dopants in the fabrication of solution-processable organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Through the incorporation of a delicate balance of electron-donating carbazole moieties and electron-accepting phenylbenzimidazole or oxadiazole moieties into the platinum(II) core, the platinum(II) complexes have been demonstrated to exhibit bipolar charge transport character with high photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 0.75 in thin films. The introduction of meta-linkages into the complexes further helps weaken the donor-acceptor interactions, facilitating better carrier-transporting abilities. More importantly, high-performance solution-processable green-emitting OLEDs with maximum current efficiencies of up to 57.4 cd A and external quantum efficiencies of up to 16.0% have been realized. This is among the best performances for solution-processable phosphorescent OLEDs reported based on platinum(II) complexes as well as bipolar metal complexes.

Hetero-metal doping or substitution to create alloy clusters is a highly appealing strategy for improving physicochemical characteristics as well as tailoring optical and electronic properties, although high-yield synthesis of alloy clusters with precise positioning of doped metals is a daunting challenge. Herein, we manifest rational synthesis of chiral alloy cluster enantiomers R/S-AgCu in 85 %-87 % yield by replacing one Ag(I) atom with Cu(I) in homometallic clusters R/S-Ag, achieving circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with a quantum yield beyond 90 %. As a small energy gap (ca.

Hybrid metal halides have received great interests in the field of solid-state lighting technologies due to their diverse structures and excellent emission properties. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of four blue-emitting zero-dimensional hybrid metal halides, namely, (2HP)ZnCl, (2HP)ZnBr, (2TP)ZnCl, and (2TP)ZnBr (2HP = 2-hydroxypyridine, 2TP = pyridine-2-thiol). By changing the ligands and halides, a remarkable increase in the photoluminescence quantum yield of (2HP)ZnCl (44.

A comprehensive investigation has been carried out on a series of complexes of the type (N^N)Pt(-CC-Ar), where N^N represents diarylamino-substituted 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands and -CC-Ar refers to the substituted arylacetylide ligands. The introduction of trifluoromethyl and methoxy substituents to the phenylacetylide unit results in color tuning of the phosphorescence energy in these complexes. The bulky diarylamino substituents on the bipyridine ligand showed distinctive electronic properties, resulting in improved hole-transporting characteristics.

We report square planar mononuclear Pt(II)-complexes of terpyridines in the form of [PtCl(/)]PF as phosphorescent emitters (where = 4-(3-pyridine)2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and = 4'-(3-pyridinyl)-4,4''-di(-butyl)-2,2':6'2''-terpyridine). Complex showed emission at 534 nm in the DCM solution with photoluminescence quantum efficiency (Φ) = 14%, while in the mCBP host (5-wt % doped), the emission shifted to 584 nm with Φ = 37.8% and a phosphorescence lifetime (τ) of 37.
