Highly efficient orange-emitting OLEDs based on phosphorescent platinum(II) complexes

The syntheses, characterisations, photophysical properties and their applications in organic light emitting devices of a series of 2-phenylbenzothiazolato (bt)/substituted 2-phenylbenzothiazolato (X-bt) platinum(II) based square-planar complexes [(X-bt)Pt(acac); acac = acetylacetonate; X = unsubstituted, F, OMe and CF3] are reported.
