摘要
CONSPECTUS: This Account describes our achievements toward the development of a new class of platinum(II) complexes with interesting photophysical properties. The general motif of a strongly donating N-heterocyclic carbene with a cyclometalating phenyl group attached to the nitrogen atom together with beta-diketonate based counterligands enabled us to synthesize a new class of phosphorescent emitters for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). This Account is divided into sections and introduces imidazolium based as well as triazolium based structures and discusses the effects of structural changes on the photophysical properties. Starting from the basic methylated (substituted) phenylimidalium presursors, we initially extended the pi-system of the phenyl ring to the dibenzofuran ligand, its regioisomer, and thio-derivative. As the substituents of the beta-diketonate ligands turned out to have a strong influence on the photophysical properties (higher quantum yields as well as shorter decay times) a series of dibenzofuranyl-3-methylimidazol as well as diphenylbenzimidazol platinum complexes were synthesized to investigate the different steric and electronic effects, which are described in a separate section. The next section of the Account then describes other extensions of the pi-system. Exchange of the methyl group against a phenyl ring, as well as the extension of the pi-system in the backbone of the NHC-ligand lead to a significant improvement of the photophysical properties, which reached a maximum for the diphenylbenzimidazole (DPBIC) system. Further extension of the pi-system to the diphenylnaphthylimidazol then lead to a unfavorable long decay time. The effect of substitution is discussed for cyano groups, which change the electronic situation and lead to highly emissive complexes. We are currently working on studying the effect of other substituents on the photophysical properties, as well as the introduction of additional heteroatoms into the general motif. Our initial work in that area had been on 1,2,4-triazole complexes. For the basic phenyl/methyl substituted system, two different isomers are accessible, the 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazoles as well as the 1-phenyl-1H-1,2,4 triazoles. It was interesting to note that the photophysical properties of the corresponding complexes are strongly dependent on the substituent R of the beta-diketonate ligand. For R = methyl, the properties are significantly different, while we found almost identical photophysical results for R = mesityl for both 1,2,4-triazole isomers. The last section describes the synthesis of bimetallic complexes. To investigate whether it is possible to cyclometalate twice into the same phenyl ring, we synthesized dicationic NHC precursors from para- and meta-disubstituted bis(imidazole)benzenes. The bimetallic complexes show interesting photophysical properties with quantum yields of up to 93%. All experimental work was accompanied by quantum chemical calculations, which turned out to be very useful for the prediction of the emission wavelengths as well as the interpretation of the emissive states of the platinum complexes.
