Three lutetium complexes, Lu(PMIP)3(TPPO)2
(A), Lu(PMIP)3Bipy (B) and Lu(PMIP)3Phen (C)
(where PMIP, TPPO, Bipy and Phen stand for 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-isobutyryl-5-pyrazolone, triphenylphosphinoxide, 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline, respectively), were synthesized and complex A was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex A was found to crystallize in the P21/n
(14) space group. The photoluminescence spectra of the complexes reveal that all the complexes have a similar spectrum peaking near 440 nm; however, the intensity of the spectrum of complex A is about 100 times higher than that of the other two complexes. When these complexes were utilized to prepare light-emitting devices, that with complex A gave a blue light, originating from this complex, with the highest brightness of 119 cd m−2 at an applied voltage of 19 V, while the same configuration devices using the other two complexes exhibited green light peaking at 512 nm, which arises from exciplexes formed at the interface of TPD and the corresponding lutetium complex. A maximum luminance of 1010 cd m−2 at 16 V from the exciplex was obtained with the highest power efficiency of 0.13 lm W−1 at 9 V and a turn-on voltage as low as 3 V for the device with a (ITO)/TPD(10 nm)/B(50 nm)/BCP(20 nm)/AlQ(40 nm)/Mg0.9Ag0.1(100 nm)/Ag (100 nm) configuration.
合成了三种镥配合物:Lu(PMIP)3(TPPO)2 (A)、Lu(PMIP)3Bipy (B)和Lu(PMIP)3Phen (C),其中PMIP、TPPO、Bipy和Phen分别代表1-苯基-3-甲基-4-异丁酰-5-吡唑啉酮、三苯膦氧化物、2,2'-联吡啶和1,10-菲咯啉,并通过单晶X射线衍射分析对配合物A进行了表征。配合物A被发现结晶于P21/n (14)空间群。这些配合物的发光光谱显示它们都具有类似的谱峰,峰值接近440 nm,但是配合物A的发光强度比其他两种配合物高出约100倍。当这些配合物被用于制备发光器件时,使用配合物A的器件发出源于该配合物的蓝光,最高亮度为119 cd m−2,施加电压为19 V;而使用其他两种配合物的相同配置器件发出峰值为512 nm的绿光,这是由于TPD与相应镥配合物界面形成的激基复合物产生的。使用(ITO)/TPD(10 nm)/B(50 nm)/BCP(20 nm)/AlQ(40 nm)/Mg0.9Ag0.1(100 nm)/Ag (100 nm)配置的器件,从激基复合物获得了最大亮度1010 cd m−2(16 V时),最高功率效率为0.13 lm W−1(9 V时),开启电压仅为3 V。
