Abstract
The present invention provides compositions comprising at least one novel organic iridium compound which comprises at least one cyclometallated ligand and at least one ketopyrrole ligand. The organic iridium compositions of the present invention are referred to as Type (1) organic iridium compositions and are constituted such that no ligand of the novel organic iridium compound has a number average molecular weight of 2,000 grams per mole or greater (as measured by gel permeation chromatography). Type (1) organic iridium compositions are referred to herein as comprising “organic iridium complexes”. The novel organic iridium compositions are useful in optoelectronic electronic devices such as OLED devices and photovoltaic devices. In one aspect, the invention provides novel organic iridium compositions useful in the preparation of OLED devices exhibiting enhanced color properties and light output efficiencies.
