LUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

The invention provides compounds of the general formula (10). The cyclometallating ligand of compound (10) includes an N-donor heterocyclic ligand (2) where at least one X is nitrogen and which is directly bonded to a phenyl group. The phenyl group is orthometallated to the platinum. The donor atoms (Y) of the bidentate stabilizing ligand are N or O. The invention further provides methods of producing photoluminescence and electroluminescence, methods of applying the compounds in thin film, and uses of the compounds of the invention in a light emitting device, a luminescent probe, a sensor, and/or an electroluminescent device.
