Abstract

New blue or blue-green emitting iridium complexes have been synthesised with cyclometalating ligands derived from the 1-methyl-3-(2′-pyridyl)pyridinium cation. Efficient luminescence is observed in MeCN or aqueous solutions, with a large range of lifetimes in the μs region and relatively high quantum yields.
