[Image: see text] 1-Phenyl-3-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)isoquinoline (H(2)MeL) has been prepared by Pd(N-XantPhos)-catalyzed “deprotonative cross-coupling processes” to synthesize new phosphorescent red iridium(III) emitters (601–732 nm), including the carbonyl derivative Ir(κ(4)-cis-C,C′-cis-N...

Sumario: | [Image: see text] 1-Phenyl-3-(1-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)isoquinoline (H(2)MeL) has been prepared by Pd(N-XantPhos)-catalyzed “deprotonative cross-coupling processes” to synthesize new phosphorescent red iridium(III) emitters (601–732 nm), including the carbonyl derivative Ir(κ(4)-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL)Cl(CO) and the acetylacetonate compound Ir(κ(4)-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL)(acac). The tetradentate 6e-donor ligand (6tt′) of these complexes is formed by two different bidentate units, namely, an orthometalated 2-phenylisoquinoline and an orthometalated 2-benzylpyridine. The link between the bidentate units reduces the number of possible stereoisomers of the structures [6tt′ + 3b] (3b = bidentate 3e-donor ligand), with respect to a [3b + 3b′ + 3b″] emitter containing three free bidentate units, and it permits a noticeable stereocontrol. Thus, the isomers fac-Ir(κ(4)-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL){κ(2)-C,N-(C(6)H(4)-py)}, mer-Ir(κ(4)-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL){κ(2)-C,N-(C(6)H(3)R-py)}, and mer-Ir(κ(4)-trans-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL){κ(2)-C,N-(C(6)HR-py)} (R = H, Me) have also been selectively obtained. The new emitters display short lifetimes (0.7–4.6 μs) and quantum yields in a doped poly(methyl methacrylate) film at 5 wt % and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at room temperature between 0.08 and 0.58. The acetylacetonate complex Ir(κ(4)-cis-C,C′-cis-N,N′-MeL)(acac) has been used as a dopant for a red PhOLED device with an electroluminescence λ(max) of 672 nm and an external quantum efficiency of 3.4% at 10 mA/cm(2). |
