To tune aggregation/excimer emission and obtain a single active emitter for white polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs), a heterobimetallic Pt(II)âIr(III) complex of FIr(pic)-C6DBC6-(pic)PtF was designed and synthesized, in which C6DBC6 is a di(phenyloxyhexyloxy) bridging group, FIr(pic) is an iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2â²] (picolinate) chromophore and FPt(pic) is a platinum(II) [(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2â²] (picolinate) chromophore. Its physical and opto-electronic properties were investigated. Interestingly, the excimer emission was efficiently controlled by this heterobimetallic Pt(II)âIr(III) complex compared to the PL profile of the mononuclear FPt(pic) complex in the solid state. Near-white emissions were obtained in the single emissive layer (SEL) PLEDs using this heterobimetallic Pt(II)âIr(III) complex as a single dopant and poly(vinylcarbazole) as a host matrix at dopant concentrations from 0.5 wt% to 2 wt%. This work indicates that incorporating a non-planar iridium(III) complex into the planar platinum(II) complex can control aggregation/excimer emissions and a single phosphorescent emitter can be obtained to exhibit white emission in SEL devices.
