High triplet energy Al complex as a host material for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An Al complex, tris((2-(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)aluminum (Al(pypy)3), was synthesized as a high triplet energy host material for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. A high triplet energy ligand, 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-3-ol, was coordinated to the Al to develop the high triplet energy host material derived from Al. The Al(pypy)3 host showed a high triplet energy of 2.86 eV for efficient energy transfer to blue triplet emitter. A maximum quantum efficiency of 20.5% was achieved in blue device using the Al(pypy)3 host material.
