A Rh(I)-catalyzed direct arylation of pyridine and quinoline heterocycles has been developed. The method provides rapid entry into an important class of substituted heterocycles employing inexpensive and readily available starting materials.
Compounds comprising a ligand having a quinoline or isoquinoline moiety and a phenyl moiety, e.g., (iso)pq ligands. In particular, the ligand is further substituted with electron donating groups. The compounds may be used in organic light emitting devices, particularly devices with emission in the deep red part of the visible spectrum, to provide devices having improved properties.
