Green-emitting dendritic alkynylgold(iii) complexes with excellent film morphologies for applications in solution-processable organic light-emitting devices

Abstract

Bipolar cyclometalated dendritic alkynylgold(III) complexes that exhibit excellent film morphologies in solid-state thin films have been designed and synthesized. Together with their high luminescence quantum yields, high performance solution-processable organic light-emitting devices have been realized, maintaining high external quantum efficiencies of >12% for dendrimers up to the second generation.
