A challenging issue for white organic light-emitting diodes is to improve the luminescence efficiency and stability for blue phosphorescence materials. In order to deeper understand the relationship between molecular structure and luminescence quantum efficiency, we apply our recently developed correlation function method coupled with density functional theory calculation to investigate the photophysical properties of fac-tris(2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridyl iridium (fac-Ir(F₂ppy)₃), including phosphorescence emission spectra, radiative and nonradiative decay rates, and excited-state decay lifetime at different temperatures. All the calculated results can well reproduce the available experimental measurements. We further analyze the relevance of molecular parameters governing the photophysical processes. We found out that in fac-Ir(F₂ppy)₃: (1) when compared with the archetypal green fac-Ir(ppy)₃, the introduction of F atoms can enlarge the energy gap between the excited triplet T₁ and the ground state S₀ resulting in blue-shift. This does not introduce extra reorganization energies in the excited-state relaxation process. So the blue phosphorescent fac-Ir(F₂ppy)₃ can exhibit high luminescence efficiency; (2) the main channels for nonradiatively dissipating the electronic excited-state energy are found to be the stretching vibrations of carbon and carbon bonds, such as C(5)—C(46) linking the fluorophenyl and pyridyl rings, C(43)—C(44) and C(42)—C(47) of pyridyl ring, and C(3)—C(6) of fluorophenyl ring in L1 ligand. This points out the direction for further increasing the light-emitting efficiency through suppressing these motions.

Key words: theory of intersystem crossing, molecular design of iridium (III) complex, phosphorescence spectrum, phosphorescence quantum efficiency
