摘要
雙三牙配位三價銥金屬錯合物的剛性結構，優異的化學和光化學穩定性在磷光OLED的生產中具有巨大的價值。然而，三牙配體的正交排列導致配體之間之相互作用，這將降低生產質量。在系列I中，為解決這一難題，開發了一系列發紅光的雙三牙銥金屬錯合物，該類錯合物所用的配合物既可以作為單陰離子輔助配位基又作為雙陰離子發光團，屬於2-pyrazolyl-6-phenyl pyridine的衍生物。通過苯基取代pyrazole N上面的H合成單陰離子螯合物（pzPhpyphH），在特定配體之特定位置引入了給電子的叔丁基/甲氧基，可微調錯合物的空間結構和電子性質。同時，pziqphH2這個負二價配位基在中央位置引入了isoquniolinyl，導致整體放光的紅移。銥金屬（III）錯合物1.2具有出色的性能，最大效率為28.17％，41.25 cd·A-1和37.03 lm·W-1，CIEx，y = 0.63，在50 mA cm-2時為0.37，並且效率下降很小。這些觀察結果證實，大體積的叔丁基和垂直排列的苯基均有效地提高了OLED器件的性能。

第二系列，開發了一系列均配位的雙三牙銥金屬錯合物，並從同一來源的2-pyrazolyl-6-phenyl pyridine合成，為了更好地評估分子結構和電子性能。延續第一章，單陰離子輔助配位基保持不變；而另一方面，為了提高LUMO的能級，isoqunioline體系被pyridine取代，從而引起了新系列放光的藍移。 HOMO的電子密度分布主要在pzpyph片段和中心金屬中，而LUMO的電子密度分布主要在pzPhpyph片段中。此外，structureless的放光和較大的輻射衰減速率常數表明放光主要來自MLCT和配體間電荷的轉移。

第三章合成了一系列新的雙三牙銥金屬的磷光發光體，其同時包含雙carbene的輔助配基，例如2,6-diimidazolylidene benzene 和放光團 2-triazolyl(pyridin-3-yl)-6-phenoxy pyrimidine。在pyrimidine配體中，引入了phenoxy group以將發射光光色調節到真正的藍光區域，這取決於這些配體的能隙。pyrimidine使3MLCT的貢獻最大化，triazole增強了frontier orbitals的有效重疊。弱場的azolate被pyridin-3-yl取代，所形成的金屬-碳鍵，使被激發的以金屬為中心的dd激發態不穩定，進而提高了發射效率。
在第IV系列中，我們在pzpyphH配合物上引入了新的取代基合成均配位雙三牙銥金屬發光體。配體的設計是通過在Ir–N配位的pyridyl片段的4號位點引入拉電子的大體積CF3取代基，並在苯基片段的第4位引入推電子的叔丁基，研究其相對應的銥金屬錯合物之光物理和改變發光性質的影響。我們合成並表徵了一系列的均配位雙三牙銥金屬錯合物。
所有雙三牙銥金屬錯合物的結論，1H NMR光譜和參考文獻在最後呈現。

Abstract
The rigid structure, superior chemical, and photochemical stability of the bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes bear tremendous value in the production of phosphorescent OLEDs. Nonetheless, tridentate chelate orthogonal arrangements result in inter-ligand interactions, which will reduce the quality of production. In series –I, to address this obstacle, a sequence of red-emitting bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes comprising both monoanionic ancillary and dianionic chromophoric chelates are developed and synthesized as functional derivatives of 2-pyrazolyl-6-phenyl pyridine. The application of phenyl substituent to the pyrazolyl fragment of pzpyphH2 allows for the precursors of monoanionic chelates (pzPhpyphH), the insertion of electron-donating t-butyl/ methoxy groups at a particular chelate location, possibly to fine-tuning the steric and electronic properties of chelates. While dianionic chelate precursors were wisely prepared on pziqphH2 with a central isoquniolinyl system to give redshifted emissions. Ir(III) complex 1.2 gives superior performance with max. efficiencies of 28.17%, 41.25 cd·A−1 and 37.03 lm·W−1, CIEx,y = 0.63, 0.37 at 50 mA cm−2, and small efficiency roll-off. Thus, these observations confirmed a notion that the performance of OLED devices were effectively boosted by both the bulky t-butyl and perpendicular arranged phenyl groups.
In series –II, a series of homoleptic bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes are developed and synthesized from the same source of 2-pyrazolyl-6-phenyl pyridine in order to have a better understanding on molecular structure and electronic properties. From chapter I, monoanionic ancillary chelate remained unchanged. On the other side, to raise the LUMO energy level, the main isoquinoline system was substituted with pyridine, which gives the blue-shifted emission relative to series –I. HOMO's electron density distributions are predominantly distributed in the first pzpyph fragment and the metal atom Ir(III), while LUMO's electron density distribution is primarily located in the second pzPhpyph fragment. Additionally, structureless emission and large radiative decay rate constants manifesting that the emission has a significant contribution from MLCT and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer process.
A new class of bis-tridentate Ir(III) metal phosphors containing both the ancillary dicarbene pincer such as 2,6-diimidazolylidene benzene and the chromophoric chelate 2-triazolyl(pyridin-3-yl)-6-phenoxy pyrimidine were synthesized in sequence –III. In pyrimidine ligands, the phenoxy group was introduced for tuning emission color into the true blue region, which is dependent on the suggested higher ligand-centered energy gap for these chelates. Pyrimidine to maximize the contribution of 3MLCT, trizolate functional groups enhance the efficient overlapping of the frontier orbitals. Soft field azolate functional group substituted by pyridin-3-yl fragment, metal-carbon bond to destabilize the excited metal-centered dd excited state and increase the efficiency of emission.
In series – IV, we have extended the homoleptic bis-tridentate Ir(III) phosphors bearing functional derivative of a pzpyphH chelate. The ligand designed by the incorporation of electron-withdrawing, bulky trifluoromethyl substituent at the 4th position of the Ir–N coordinated pyridyl fragment and incorporation of electron-donating tert-butyl group at the 4th position of the phenyl fragment with a view to understanding the electronic effects on the photophysical and electroluminescent properties of the corresponding Ir(III) complexes. We prepared a series of homoleptic, bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes have been synthesized and characterized.
Lastly, the concluding remarks and 1H NMR spectrums of all bis-tridentate Ir(III) complexes and references.
