Highly phosphorescent carbene–metal–carboranyl complexes of copper(i) and gold(i)†
Abstract
New phosphorescent “carbene–metal–carboranyl” (CMC) Cu(I) and Au(I) complexes based on the diamidocarbene (DAC) ligand show up to 68% photoluminescence quantum yield and microsecond range lifetimes. CMC organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) emit sky-blue and warm white electroluminescence.
