Electroluminescent complexes of Ir(III) and devices

Abstract

There are provided compounds of Ir(III) having β-diketimine ligands including the complexes having Formula I: L is the same or different at each occurrence and is a cyclometalating bidentate monoanionic ligand coordinated through a nitrogen atom and a carbon atom. R1 and R3 can be the same or different and are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl and heterocyclic groups. R10 and R11 can be the same or different and are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, trialkylsilyl, triarylsilyl, and heterocyclic groups. R2 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, heterocyclic groups, or fluorine. Adjacent R groups can join together to form 5- or 6-membered rings. R8 is H, F, or alkyl. There are also provided electronic devices containing such compounds.
