Syntheses, crystal structure, photophysical property and theoretical study of a new series of iridium complexes with N-(diphenylphosphoryl)benzamide derivatives as the ancillary ligands
摘要:
Seven iridium complexes with the general structure of (tfmppy)(2)Ir(L-1-L-7) (tfmppy = 4-trifluoromethyl phenylpyridine) were synthesized, where ancillary ligands L1-L7 are fluorine-or trifluoromethyl-substituted (-F or -CF3) N-(diphenylphosphoryl)benzamide derivatives. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study was undertaken on all complexes, which showed that each adopted the distorted octahedral coordination geometry with the conventional trans-N, cis-C arrangement in the coordination sphere. Electrochemical study confirmed the electron-withdrawing -F and -CF3 substituents on the ancillary ligands have effects on the Ir-III/IV redox couples and HOMO/LUMO energy levels. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation results showed that the HOMOs are composed of Ir 5d orbital (about 55%) and pi orbitals of the phenyl rings (about 38%) in tfmppy ligands, whilst the LUMOs are mostly localized on both the phenyl and pyridine rings of tfmppy (about 90%). All the complexes own the similar emission peaks around 520 nm with short phosphorescent decay time about 2 mu s at ambient temperature and relatively high internal quantum efficiencies from 37.5 to 61.2%. This work showed that the iridium complexes with N-(diphenylphosphoryl)benzamide derivatives as the ancillary ligands possess the potential as phosphorence dopants in the organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
