RESUMO
A series of arylgold(III) complexes of tridentate diphenylpyridine ligand incorporated with fluorene and its heterocyclic spiro derivatives, spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene] and spiro[acridine-9,9'-fluorene], as auxiliary ligands has been prepared. This class of complexes exhibits high decomposition temperatures of up to 387 °C, excellent film morphologies in solid-state thin films with a root-mean-square roughness smaller than 0.20 nm, as well as high photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 0.72 in solid-state thin films. Solution-processed organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) fabricated from this series of complexes as dopants show intense electroluminescence in the sky-blue region with maximum external quantum efficiencies of 10.0%. Taking advantage of their high thermal stability, vacuum-deposited OLEDs have also been fabricated and satisfactory operational lifetimes of â¼300 h have been recorded.
RESUMO
Bipolar cyclometalated dendritic alkynylgold(iii) complexes that exhibit excellent film morphologies in solid-state thin films have been designed and synthesized. Together with their high luminescence quantum yields, high performance solution-processable organic light-emitting devices have been realized, maintaining high external quantum efficiencies of >12% for dendrimers up to the second generation.
