Abstract

Phosphorescent bis-cyclometallated iridium (III) complexes based on 2-phenyl-1,2,3-benzotriazole with additional donoric diphenylamine or carbazole moieties were synthesized, studied and tested as phosphorescent materials in the single-layer phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. These single-layer devices were fabricated employing a simple technological approach, based upon the simultaneous vacuum deposition from one crucible of host material and the corresponding phosphorescent 1,2,3-triazole-based iridium complexes. Red and orange electrophosphorescent single-layer devices with current efficiencies of 5.3 cd/A and 6.8 cd/A respectively are reported. Results of the impedance spectroscopy suggest that the proposed method of formation of the working layer provides homogeneous distribution of molecular guest in the matrix of host.
