Multinuclear Iridium Complex Encapsulated by Oligocarbazole Dendrons for Enhanced Nondoped Device Efficiency.

ABSTRACT: A dendritic multinuclear Ir complex, namely Cz-3IrB-IrG, has been designed and synthesized by introducing the second-generation oligocarbazole dendrons into its periphery. Because of the characteristic encapsulation, the intermolecular interactions could be effectively alleviated to prevent the unwanted triplet-triplet annihilation stemmed from the outer blue Ir complexes. Compared with 3IrB-IrG in the absence of dendrons, the film photoluminescence quantum yield of Cz-3IrB-IrG is greatly increased from 0.46 to 0.82 together with a small blue-shifted emission from 524 to 520 nm. On the basis of Cz-3IrB-IrG as the emitting layer alone, the nondoped device realizes a promising luminous efficiency of 40.9 cd/A (12.0%), much higher than that of 3IrB-IrG (32.6 cd/A, 9.7%). The obtained improvem
