Optimising the luminescence of platinum(II) complexes and their application in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs)☆

Recent Advances in Phosphorescent Pt(II) Complexes Featuring Metallophilic Interactions: Properties and Applications

“…Owing to the triplet nature of the emissive excited state and thus to the possibility to harvest both singlet and triplet electrogenerated excitons, luminescent Pt(II) complexes bearing either bidentate, 27 tridentate, 82,83 or tetradentate 8486 coordination motifs have been extensively investigated as active materials in optoelectronic applications that include organic-light emitting diodes (OLEDs), 8 and organic light-emitting field-effect transitions (OLEFET). 33 To date, they represent the leading choice along with iridium-based counterparts.…”

Luminescent PtII Complexes of Tridentate Cyclometalating 2,5‐Bis(aryl)‐pyridine Ligands

“…The photo/electrochemical properties can be roughly correlated with the ligand pattern and suggest their use in optoelectronic applications. ated with the Pt II d x 2 -y 2 orbital when using these very strong carbanionic ligands; [20] the other reason lies in their rigidity. Consequently, the idea arose of using tridentate dicarbanionic cyclometalating ligands of the 2,6-di(phen-2-yl)pyridine ( -PhPyPh -, see Scheme 1) type with Pt II .…”

Neutral N^C^N terdentate luminescent Pt(ii) complexes: their synthesis, photophysical properties, and bio-imaging applications

“…[2][3][4][5] In addition, d 8 platinum(II) complexes have attracted much attention due to their interesting luminescence properties. [6][7][8][9][10] Cyclometallated derivatives are usefully employed for the preparation of triplet emitters for highly efficient OLED (organic light emitting diode) devices 7,[11][12][13][14] and for their appealing second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. [15][16][17][18] Another fast emerging field regarding luminescent Pt(II) complexes is their application as luminescent labels for bioimaging.…”
