- Abstract:
- The recent developments in using iridium(III) complexes as phosphorescent
emitters in electroluminescent devices, such as (white) organic light-emitting
diodes and light-emitting electrochemical cells, are discussed. Additionally,
applications in the emerging fields of molecular sensors, biolabeling, and
photocatalysis are briefly evaluated. The basic strategies towards charged and
non-charged iridium(III) complexes are summarized, and a wide range of
assemblies is discussed. Small-molecule- and polymer-based materials are
under intense investigation as emissive systems in electroluminescent
devices, and special emphasis is placed on the latter with respect to synthesis,
characterization, electro-optical properties, processing technologies, and
performance.
