Design,Synthesis And Photo/Electro Luminescence Property Study Of Novel Linked Imidazole Lonic Iridium Complexes

Also known as the Twenty-First Century is information age. With the rapiddevelopment of information industry, Display as an information carrier is an essentialpart of people’s lives. Conventional displays such as the bulky, heavy, high drivevoltage shortcomings have been unable to meet the demand of people. Therefore, theperformance of study the better and better monitor becomes one of the hot.Currently more advanced display technology is a solid light-emittingelectrochemical cell （LEC）. Solid-state light-emitting electrochemical cell of theselected materials are mostly ionic transition metal complexes, This is due to themetal and the strong interaction between the ligand, making the transition metalcomplexes have triplet characteristics of the metal-ligand charge transfer （MLCT）excited state, That metal complexes of heavy metals in the atomic spin-spin coupling,the singlet and triplet mixed, triplet exciton symmetry are destroyed and decayedfaster, so more higher efficient electricity phosphorescence can be generated. Theintersystem crossing （ISC） efficiency from the singlet to triplet is increased. Amongthe several common heavy metals complexes, Ir（Ⅲ） complexes have the advantagesof short phosphorescence life and luminescence quantum efficiency, making these tobe the focus in the research field.Ionic iridium complexes also have more advantages than the neutral iridiumcomplexes. Such as high quantum efficiencies and easily tunable emissionwavelength. Then the ionic iridium complexes can be better electroluminescentmaterials. First, compared with the neutral iridium complexes, conditions for thesynthesis of the ionic iridium complexes are more moderate; Second, ionic iridiumcomplexes as light-emitting materials can use inert metal, such as gold for theelectrode to be efficient light-emitting devices; Third, these complexes have redoxreversibility and stability, can help to improve the stability of the device; Fourth, sincethese complexes carry charge and couter ions, so it is conducive to carrier injection,transport and reduce device power consumption.The main contents of the paper are as follows:1.
