Efficient deep red OLEDs based on iridium(iii) complexes show a maximum current efficiency and external quantum efficiency of up to 16.6 cd A−1and 19.9%, respectively, with mild efficiency roll-off.
A series of dibenzo[a,f][1,3,5]triazino[2,1,6‐cd] pyrrolizine compounds have been synthesized from phthalonitriles by a facile intramolecular cyclization process using “half‐phthalocyanine” precursors, and they were characterized by X‐ray crystallography, 1H NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis, and theoretical calculations. These compounds have spectroscopic profiles similar to phthalocyanines and porphyrins, although their inner‐core structures and coordination types are totally different. They can be regarded as a new class of aromatic fused‐ring compounds. The low‐energy absorption of these new fused‐ring compounds are located at around 600 nm. Such a low‐energy π–π* transition is scarce in aromatic compounds having a similar molecular size. According to the nomenclature of phthalocyanines, these types of compounds have been named phthalorubines (Prs).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
