Organic electroluminescent materials and devices

Abstract

A compound E1 capable of functioning as an emitter an organic light emitting device (OLED) at room temperature is provided. The compound is a metal coordination complex; the metal coordination complex comprises a first ligand, LA, that comprises a first group; and the metal coordination complex comprises a covalent bond between the metal and the first group; wherein the transition dipole moment (TDM) of the emissive state of the complex has a vector, wherein an angle formed between the TDM vector and the covalent bond between the metal and the first group is less than or equal to 40°, and wherein an excited state of the metal coordination complex has a LC character localized on the first group of greater than or equal to 45%. Formulations, OLEDs, and consumer products containing the compound are also provided.
