Abstract:
Two novel phosphorescent Ir(iii) complexes, Ir(fom)2(pic) and Ir(fof)2(pic), containing fluorene oxadiazole groups have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties of the complexes have been investigated. Interestingly, both complexes exhibited aggregation-induced phosphorescent emission. The X-ray diffraction study showed that the AIPE properties resulted from weak π-π and C-HN hydrogen-bonding interactions in the aggregated state restricting the rotation of the phenyl groups in the cyclometalating ligands. Owing to the sensitive and selective luminescence quenching of the complexes using picric acid (PA), the complexes were used for PA detection in aqueous media. Additionally, electroluminescence devices have been fabricated using the complexes at 5%-30% doping concentrations. The devices based on Ir(fof)2(pic) obtained the highest luminance 11 877 cd m-2 and current efficiency 23.2 cd A-1, which implied that the incorporation of fluorine could improve the electron affinity and ameliorate the capability of electron injection or transporting.

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
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.
