Abstract

An OLED including an organic layer that contains metal complex compounds that are useful as a phosphorescent emitter is disclosed. The metal complex compounds include ligands that incorporate fluorinated side chains and has at least one substituent R selected from the group consisting of partially fluorinated alkyl, partially fluorinated cycloalkyl, and combinations thereof, wherein R is directly bonded to an aromatic ring. In the compound, C having an F attached thereto is separated by at least one carbon atom from the aromatic ring.

Claims (500)

wherein the first compound is capable of functioning as a phosphorescent emitter in an organic light emitting device at room temperature;

wherein the first compound has at least one aromatic ring and at least one substituent R;

wherein each of the at least one R is independently selected from the group consisting of partially fluorinated alkyl, partially fluorinated cycloalkyl, and combinations thereof;

wherein each of the at least one R is directly bonded to one of the aromatic rings;

wherein in each of the at least one R, any C having an F attached thereto is separated by at least one carbon atom from the aromatic ring;

wherein the first compound has the formula of M(L 1 ) x (L 2 ) y (L 3 ) z ;

wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Ir, Rh, Re, Ru, Os, Pt, Au, and Cu;
