Abstract:
Dendrimeric Pt(II) complexes [(C(∧)N)Pt(dpm)] and [Pt(C(∧)N)2] (Hdpm = dipivaloylmethane, HC(∧)N = 1,2-diphenylbenzoimidazole and its derivatives containing the carbazole dendrons) have been synthesized and characterized systematically. All of the complexes display green emission in the range of 495-535 nm that originated from the 360-440 nm absorption bands, which are assigned to dπ(Pt)→π*(L) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) mixed with intraligand π(L)→π*(L) transition. Solution photoluminescence quantum yield (φp 0.26-0.31) of the heteroleptic complexes [(C(∧)N)Pt(dpm)] obviously increases when compared with that of complex [(C(∧)N)Pt(acac)]. Organic light-emitting diode devices based on these Pt(II) complexes with a multilayer configuration were fabricated and gave desirable electroluminescent (EL) performances, such as non- or less red-shifted EL spectra, in comparison with the photoluminescence spectra and slow efficiency roll-off with increasing brightness or current density. Complex [(t-BuCzCzPBI)Pt(dpm)] (where t-BuCzCzPBI = 1-(4-(3,6-di-(3,6-di-t-butyl-carbazol-9-yl))carbazol-9-yl)phenyl-2-phenylbenzoimidazole) showed the best performance, with a maximum current efficiency of 29.31 cd/A and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.04% among the fabricated devices. Likewise, for homoleptic [Pt(t-BuCzCzPBI)2] dendrimer, the powder φp (0.14) and maximum EQE (0.74%) improve by 7 and 7.4 times, respectively, as high as they do for nondendrimeric [Pt(1,2-diphenylbenzoimidazole)2] (0.02, 0.10%), although its efficiency is still lower than that of the heteroleptic counterpart due to the severely distorted square-planar geometry of the emitting core. These results reveal that large steric hindrance from ancillary ligand (dpm) or the homoleptic conformation can effectively inhibit intermolecular interaction for these dendrimeric Pt(II) complexes.

Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
