Abstract
Ir(III) complexes are often used as triplet emitter dopants in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). Optimizing their photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) at room temperature and controlling the light-outcoupling is key to attain highly performant PhOLEDs.[1] This work demonstrates that the quantum chemical modelling of phosphors is a helpful tool to: i) attain quantitative predictions of their PLQY and ii) rationalize the amount of light-outcoupling. More in details, we show that the quantitative prediction of the PLQY of blue-to-green Ir(III) complexes can be derived exclusively from electronic structure calculations and the use of simplified kinetic models.[2] Within these models, only a few calculations are needed: computing the radiative rate from the emissive state and characterizing the potential energy surfaces of the temperature-dependent non-radiative deactivation channels. This approach is extremely beneficial for the in silico prescreening of promising deep blue PhOLED emissive materials. Finally, the accurate calculation of the singlet-triplet transition dipole moments provides important insights into the design of Ir(III) complexes with improved outcoupling factors.
