Abstract

In this paper, an auxiliary ligand with bipolar transmission characteristics, namely pic-PSCz, was synthesized by covalently connecting electron transport diphenylsulfone (PS) unit and hole transport carbazole (Cz) unit to picolinic acid (pic), and a bipolar transmission donor-acceptor (D-A) type near-infrared iridium (III) complex (tBuTPA-BTz-Iq)2Ir(pic-PSCz) (tBu is tert-butyl, TPA is triphenylamine, BTZ is benzotriazole and Iq is isoquinoline) was designed and synthesized. Compared with (Piq)2Ir(pic-PSCz), there is about 110 nm red shifted of (tBuTPA-BTz-Iq)2Ir(pic-PSCz) in emission spectra due to the strong D-A effect. Compared with the reported complex (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Irpic, the photophysical and electroluminescent properties of (tBuTPA-BTz-Iq)2Ir(pic-PSCz) were improved by introducing Cz and PS units. Its maximum emission peak is located in the near-infrared region of 716 nm, and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 0.87% is achieved, which is three times as much as its parent complex (TPA-BTz-Iq)2Irpic (EQEmax is 0.29% @712 nm).
