Abstract

A novel and highly efficient thiophenquinolone-based red iridium(III) complex bearing a bulky fluorophenyl moiety is designed and synthesized. The complex shows intensive red phosphorescence (596 nm with shoulder at 642 nm), high photoluminescence efficiency (0.62) and broad full width at half maximum (81 nm). The bulky fluorophenyl moiety introduced into the complex could improve the efficiency of electroluminescence with the maximum current efficiency, power efficiency and the external quantum efficiency up to 29.0 cd/A, 30.4 lm/W and 17.6% due to the effective steric hindrance in solid states.
