Synthesis and characterization of phenylpyridine derivative containing an imide functional group on an iridium (III) complex for solution-processable orange-phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes

Highly‐durable hydrophobic and adhesive coatings fabricated from graphene‐grafted methacrylate copolymers

“…Since graphene was discovered by Novoselov et al in 2004, 15–17 graphene oxide (GO) has received extensive attention due to its two‐dimensional structure, extraordinary elasticity and rigidity, high thermal stability, large specific surface area, and excellent electrical properties. Its unique layered structure and strong interfacial interactions endow GO and GO‐based materials with unique mechanical properties 17–25 ; therefore, GO is an ideal two‐dimensional material for fabricating GO‐based copolymer coatings 21 . GO is composed of two‐dimensional atom‐thick sheets connected by a network of benzene‐like units whose surfaces and edges contain a large number of epoxy, hydroxyl, glycol, ether, ketone, and other groups.…”

Theoretical insight on electronic structure and photophysical properties of a series of cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes bearing the substituted phenylpyrazole with different electron-donating or electron-accepting groups

“…In the last two decades, due to the benefits of relatively short excited-state lifetimes, high photoluminescence efficiency, good colour tunability, general thermal, and electrochemical stability, phosphorescent transition metal complexes of Ir(III), Pt(II), Os(II), Cu(I) and so on have been widely explored [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Especially, phosphorescent cyclometallated iridium(III) complexes have already been extensively investigated for many applications, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solar cells, sensors, and bioimaging [7][8][9][10][11][12]. The phosphorescence quantum yield is enhanced beyond that achievable with fluorescent emitters due to the strong spin-orbit coupling induced by the iridium atom, which allows for mixing of singlet and triplet excited states through efficient intersystem crossing [13,14].…”
