摘要： In this paper, we systemically investigated the photoelectric properties of three new deep-red quinoxaline-based iridium(III) complexes: Ir-0, Ir-1, and Ir-2. (MPQ)2Ir(dpm) (Ir-0) bore a 2-methyl-3-phenyl-quinoxaline cyclometalated ligand, while (c-PyMPQ)2Ir(dpm) (Ir-1) and (t-PyMPQ)2Ir(dpm) (Ir-2) possessed a 1-pyrene substituent that connected at the 6/7 position of the corresponding ligands. The configurations of the latter two complexes were well-confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and both of them had large dihedral angles between the quinoxaline and pyrene units, preventing the emission peaks of the three complexes from being altered too much. Based on the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations, we concluded that the emission of all complexes originated predominantly from the triplet metal-to-ligand/intraligand charge transfer (3MLCT/3ILCT) state of the non-pyrene-substituted counterpart Ir-0 core. Interestingly, we also obtained another type of pyrene-stacking characteristic crystal of Ir-1, which had an emission resembled the phosphorescence observed in thin film. The easily formed pyrene-stacking configuration would most probably limit their device performance at a higher concentration. Moreover, the fabricated organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using these materials achieved considerable device performance at a low doping concentration of 0.5 wt %. This work provides an approach for reasonably designing large fused-ring-substituted quinoxaline ligands of iridium complexes.
