Abstract:
Circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) have attracted great attention because of their promising applications in 3D displays. However, developing high-performance CP-OLEDs typically face the challenge of integrating large-scale availability of emitters, device efficiency, color purity, and brightness, especially in the deep-blue spectral region. Herein, we developed a novel strategy to successfully realize the diastereoselective and gram-scale synthesis of helically chiral tetradentate Pt(II) complexes with high configurational stabilities through a central chirality adaptively induced helical chirality (CAIH) approach. The bulky central chiral moiety facilitates the suppression of intermolecular interactions and increases the color purity and molecular rigidity. R,M-PtCam2 showed a quantum efficiency of 99% and high color purity, with a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 19.8 nm. R,M-PtCam2/P-PtCam2-based deep-blue OLEDs successfully displayed obvious and mirror-image CP electroluminescence signals. R,M-PtCam2 CP-OLED exhibited a high color purity (FWHM = 24 nm) and a high maximum brightness of up to 51592 cd/m2; moreover, it also achieved a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 33.2%, along with a record-high EQE of 30.9% at 1000 cd/m2 for all reported deep-blue CP-OLEDs with CIEy < 0.20. This study provides a molecular design strategy to prepare robust helically chiral Pt(II) emitters for high-performance deep-blue phosphorescent CP-OLEDs.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Thermal Electrocyclic Reactions: Stereochemistry
Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
