A process for forming a facial tris-cyclometallated iridium or rhodium complex isomer comprises heating an original composition containing (a) a meridional isomer of a tris-cyclometallated iridium or rhodium complex in (b) an organic hydrocarbon solvent, a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, or a combination thereof, to a reaction temperature of least 150° C. for a time sufficient to form a product containing the facial isomer in an increased ratio to meridional isomer compared to the original composition. The process is simple and efficient and provides improved purity.
