“…Among the promising optical materials, zinc complexes have been especially important because of the simplicity in their synthesis procedures, wide range of emission maximum position and low cost of zinc in comparison with platinum metals and f-elements. Extensive research work in recent decades has led to the preparation of a number of new zinc complexes containing organic ligands [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], which have been used as emitters and electron transporters in OLED research. The molecular design and synthesis of new organic ligands are among the main approaches for the construction of zinc complexes with controllable luminescent properties.…”
