The crystal structures and photophysical properties of mononuclear [(RC N N)PtX](ClO4)n ((RC N N)=3-(6'-(2''-naphthyl)-2'-pyridyl)isoquinolinyl and derivatives; X=Cl, n=0; X=PPh(3) or PCy(3), n=1), dinuclear [(RC N N)2Pt2(mu-dppm)](ClO4)2 (dppm=bis(diphenyphosphino)methyl) and trinuclear [(RC N N)3Pt3(mu-dpmp)](ClO4)3 (dpmp=bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphine) complexes are presented. The crystal structures show extensive intra- and/or intermolecular pipi interactions; the two (RC N N) planes of [(RC N N)2Pt2(mu-dppm)](ClO4)2 (R=Ph, 3,5-tBu2Ph or 3,5-(CF3)2Ph) are in a nearly eclipsed configuration with torsion angles close to 0 degrees. [(RC N N)PtCl], [(RC N N)2Pt2(mu-dppm)](ClO4)2, and [(RC N N)3Pt3(mu-dpmp)](ClO4)3 are strongly emissive with quantum yields of up to 0.68 in CH2Cl2 or MeCN solution at room temperature. The [(RC N N)PtCl] complexes have a high thermal stability (T(d)=470-549 degrees C). High-performance light-emitting devices containing [(RC N N)PtCl] (R=H or 3,5-tBu2Ph) as a light-emitting material have been fabricated; they have a maximum luminance of 63,000 cd m(-2) and CIE 1931 coordinates at x=0.36, y=0.54.
White organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) are of great interest because they can be used in full-color flat-panel displays with color filters, backlight panels, and as alternative lighting sources. [1][2][3] Electrophosphorescent WOLEDs are widely considered to be the most attractive because of their high quantum and power efficiencies. In comparison with their fluorescent counterparts which can only harvest singlet excitons, phosphorescent OLEDs are able to harness both singlet and triplet excitons generated by electrical injection. This leads to a fourfold increase in efficiency compared to that achievable in singlet-harvesting fluorescent OLEDs.[4] White phosphorescence can be obtained from iridium(III) complexes using multiple emitting layers (EMLs), [5,6] multiply doped emissive-layer architectures, [7] or semiconducting polymer blends. [8,9] So far, the highest external quantum efficiency (g ext ) and power efficiency (g p ) achieved have been 12 % [7] and 57 lm W -1 , [10] respectively. Although the performance of phosphorescent WOLEDs have been impressive, blue electrophosphorescent devices have been shown to have short operational lifetimes that limit the color stability of all-phosphordoped WOLEDs.[11] On the other hand, the emission of the reported iridium(III) complexes usually spans about one third of the visible spectrum, [12] and more than two phosphorescent dopants are usually required to achieve balanced white-light emission. Such multiemissive-layer WOLEDs are potentially costly and complicated to fabricate. Consequently, there is a going interest in the development of WOLEDs that have high efficiencies but relatively uncomplicated architectures.To fabricate high-efficiency WOLEDs that have a relatively uncomplicated architecture, it is necessary to develop new phosphorescent materials with a broad emission spectrum and sufficiently high luminous efficiency. Herein, we describe the construction of high-efficiency WOLEDs with a phosphorescent/fluorescent dual-emitting architecture. We used fluorescent material 9,10-bis-(b-naphthyl)-anthrene (DNA) as a blue-light source to overcome the color-stability limitations found for all-phosphor-doped WOLEDs, and phosphorescent platinum(II) complexes [(RC^N^N)PtCl] (RC^N^N)PtCl) = 3-(6′-(2″-naphthyl)-2′-pyridyl)isoquinolinyl and derivatives) as an orange or green-yellow guest, doped into a 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) host, to achieve balanced white light. The green-yellow or orange phosphorescent platinum(II) complexes described in this work contain extended p-conjugated cyclometalated ligands and exhibit broad emission spectra coving two thirds of the visible spectrum.[13] This is a significant advance towards the ultimate realization of whitelight emission using the smallest number of dopants. Although a phosphorescent/fluorescent dual-emitting architecture has recently been reported by Forrest's group, [14] there is a key difference between this study and Forrest's work. Forrest's WOLEDs are four-component devices, employing two fluorescent ...
