Synthesis and electroluminescent property of tris{2-(naphtha [3,4]imidazol-2-yl) pyridinato} Aluminum

An emission material, tris{2-(naphtha [3,4]imidazol-2-yl) pyridinato} Aluminum (AlNIP) used for organic light emitting devices, has been synthesized. The decomposition temperature was observed at 510 °C and no melting transition (Tm) of AlNIP was observed up to 400 °C. The emission spectrum of organic emitting device using AlNIP as emitted layer exhibits a broad maximum at 536 nm. The color of the emitted light is in the orange region in the CIE coordinate of x = 0.41 y = 0.53.
